When selecting decking materials for balcony projects, architects and specifiers face the dual challenge of ensuring safety and durability without compromising aesthetic appeal. This is where MyDek’s Luxura composite decking stands out, offering design versatility while ensuring a blend of performance and compliance. Here are five reasons why Luxura could be the pick for your next balcony project.
A1 Fire Rating
Luxura composite decking boasts an A1 fire rating to EN13501–1, which makes it non-combustible. This certification aligns with compliance requirements, ensuring safety for both developers and occupants, and making it ideal for high-rise residential balconies and terraces.
Extended Durability with Specialist Materials
Luxura decking is crafted with a special blend of minerals and calcium silicates, offering superior durability compared to timber decking and wood-plastic composite decking boards. It resists warping, twisting, and rotting, ensuring longevity even in extreme weather conditions. The decking is also stain-resistant and features an easy-to-clean surface, reducing the need for maintenance efforts.
Enhanced Safety with Slip Resistance
Wet conditions require intensive pedestrian safety. Luxura decking features a naturally slip-resistant material with a textured surface, impregnated with a specialist invisible solution that provides excellent slip resistance with a PVT rating of 60 when dry and 43 when wet.
Natural Timber-Look Aesthetic
Luxura replicates the appearance of timber with its textured finish, available in colours like Aged Oak and Hickory. The aesthetic versatility provides architects with leverage to create visually aesthetic outdoor spaces that align with contemporary design trends.
Sustainable Material with Easy Recyclability
With sustainability targets becoming a key consideration across the built environment, Luxura aligns with eco-friendly practices. Luxura has a low carbon footprint and can be easily recycled with normal masonry, making it suitable for aggregate bases where required. This commitment to sustainability supports green building initiatives while enhancing the environmental aspects of your balcony projects.
