Building balconies, walkways and gangways with XtremDeck® aluminium deck boards

XtremDeck allows you to create balconies and passageways

XtremDeck is of major interest for large-scale balcony and passageway construction projects on multi-family housing, whether new-build or renovation. XtremDeck allows the decking to be integrated into the balcony structure as soon as it is manufactured, whether it is a timber-frame or metal structure. It is therefore possible, easy and even highly recommended to design the balcony construction project in "pre-fabrication" mode. 

This makes it possible to build almost the entire gangway in a factory, integrating all the elements: 

• the structure, with its bracing
• the joists,
• XtremDeck decking, gutters and eaves, 
• guardrail supports and other parts of the structure. 

The gangway arrives on site as a three-dimensional component, ready to be installed, without the need for scaffolding. 
It should be noted that XtremDeck is a non-waterproof decking board. If you need a waterproof aluminium decking board for your balcony projects, you should choose AridDeck.

The advantages of the prefabrication balconies

There is no need to reiterate all the advantages of prefabrication, especially in the case of balconies: 

• no scaffolding on the facade (a crane and a basket…),
• construction time is significantly reduced,
• better quality of work: the tedious and time-consuming work of installing the decking and managing the waterproofing is carried out in the workshop, under cover
• fewer human risks, less risk of people or tools falling
• outsourcing possible, control of costs and deadlines. 
  

Ultimately, better quality with better controlled costs.
