    Frequently asked questions

    What is Neatdek made of?
    Neatdek is manufactured using 6082 T4/T6 aluminium alloy, a material renowned for its strength, lightweight nature, and corrosion resistance. This type of aluminium is commonly used in construction and engineering due to its ability to withstand high levels of stress while maintaining structural integrity. The alloy is also non-combustible, making it a safe option for projects where fire safety is critical. Unlike timber or composite decking, aluminium does not warp, rot, or degrade over time, even in challenging environments. This ensures that Neatdek remains a durable, reliable, and low-maintenance solution for decades, making it a superior choice for decking systems.
    Is Neatdek suitable for high-rise buildings?
    Yes, Neatdek is highly suitable for high-rise buildings, as it meets the most stringent fire safety standards. It has an A1 Fire Rating under BS EN 13501-1, the highest possible non-combustibility rating. This complies with UK Building Regulations, particularly for buildings over 11 metres in height, where fire-resistant materials are mandatory. Additionally, its lightweight design minimises structural load on high-rise balconies and terraces. Neatdek’s modular system also simplifies installation in challenging environments, reducing time and labour costs for projects in urban or vertical settings. These features make it a reliable choice for architects and developers working on high-rise projects.
    What colours are available?
    Neatdek can be customised with a wide range of RAL colours, allowing it to seamlessly blend into the aesthetic of any project. Whether you’re looking for bold, vibrant tones to make a statement or neutral, subdued shades for a more classic look, Neatdek offers flexibility in design. The powder-coated finish not only enhances the visual appeal but also adds an extra layer of durability to the decking. This coating resists chipping, fading, and corrosion, ensuring that the colour remains vibrant and intact over time, even when exposed to harsh weather conditions. Customisable colours make Neatdek suitable for residential, commercial, and industrial projects.
    How does Neatdek perform in wet conditions?
    Neatdek is designed to excel in wet conditions, making it ideal for outdoor applications like balconies, walkways, and pool decks. Its anti-slip surface ensures safety, even when exposed to rain or water splashes. The surface is engineered to provide high traction, reducing the risk of accidents in areas with heavy foot traffic. Additionally, the decking system features excellent drainage capabilities, with gaps that allow water to flow through efficiently, preventing pooling or puddles. Unlike timber, which becomes slippery and prone to rotting when wet, aluminium retains its performance characteristics, making Neatdek a safe, durable, and low-maintenance solution in wet environments.
    What is the lifespan of Neatdek?
    Neatdek has a design life exceeding 60 years, making it one of the most durable decking systems available. Its longevity is attributed to its aluminium construction, which resists corrosion, wear, and environmental damage. Unlike traditional materials like timber or composite decking, which may require regular replacements due to warping, rotting, or fading, Neatdek maintains its structural integrity and appearance over time. To ensure confidence in its durability, Neatdek is backed by a 25-year warranty. This long lifespan not only reduces the need for costly maintenance but also contributes to sustainable building practices by minimising material waste over time.
    Can Neatdek be used for industrial applications?
    Absolutely. Neatdek’s exceptional strength, durability, and anti-slip surface make it ideal for industrial applications. Whether used for loading platforms, mezzanines, or elevated walkways, Neatdek can withstand heavy loads and high levels of foot traffic. Its corrosion-resistant aluminium construction ensures reliable performance in challenging environments, such as factories, warehouses, or outdoor industrial sites. Additionally, Neatdek’s modular design allows for easy customisation to fit specific project requirements. Its low-maintenance nature reduces long-term operational costs, making it a cost-effective solution for industrial projects. With its combination of strength, safety, and durability, Neatdek is a top choice for demanding industrial applications.
    What are the available gap sizes?
    Neatdek is available with gap sizes of 5mm or 8mm, offering flexibility to meet different project requirements and compliance with building regulations. The smaller gap size (5mm) is ideal for applications where heel safety or child safety is a concern, such as balconies or walkways in residential areas. The 8mm gap size is suitable for projects where efficient drainage is a priority, such as rooftop terraces, factory platforms and gantries. Both options maintain excellent structural integrity and safety standards, ensuring reliable performance in various settings. By offering multiple gap sizes, Neatdek caters to a wide range of architectural and functional needs.
    Does Neatdek require special maintenance?
    No, Neatdek is designed to be virtually maintenance-free. Unlike timber decking, which requires regular treatments to prevent rot, warping, or insect damage, Neatdek’s aluminium construction is inherently resistant to these issues. It does not need staining, sealing, or painting, significantly reducing upkeep costs. Routine cleaning with water and a mild detergent is sufficient to keep Neatdek looking and performing its best. Its powder-coated surface is durable and resistant to scratches, chips, and fading, ensuring it retains its aesthetic appeal over time. This low-maintenance quality makes Neatdek a hassle-free solution for residential, commercial, and industrial projects alike.
    Can Neatdek be customised for my project?
    Yes, Neatdek offers extensive customisation options to suit the specific requirements of your project. The modular design allows for off-site manufacturing to bespoke dimensions, ensuring a perfect fit and reducing on-site installation time. Additionally, Neatdek can be powder-coated in a wide range of RAL colours to match your project’s aesthetic vision. Whether you need a particular gap size, structural depth, or colour finish, Neatdek can be tailored to meet your needs. This level of customisation makes it a versatile solution for a variety of applications, including balconies, walkways, and industrial platforms, ensuring both functional and visual integration with your design.
