Why Alumverde Decking
Benefits of Aluminium Compared to Traditional Materials
Where strength is combined with beauty for balcony spaces, there is no equal to aluminum with its high-strength factor and versatility in fitting different designs. ALumverde has transformed the application of aluminum for outdoor decking by combining the fundamental advantage of aluminum with the wood-like beauty. Our patented co-extrusion technology in our company joins 6063-T5 aluminum with Surlyn® resin, which is used on golf ball surfaces, so the finish is not only resistant but also naturally textured. This makes our decking not only look like wood but feel like wood too.
Compared to typical wood-plastic composites (WPC), our aluminum decking is more UV-stable, fire-rated, and heat-transmitting. Aluminum warms and transfers heat rapidly, while the Surlyn co-extrusion layer takes longer to heat, resulting in a surface temperature that is ~5°C lower than typical materials after an hour of exposure to sunlight.
Long-Term Value and Cost Efficiency
Choosing ALumverde decking is a commitment for the long term. With our use of recyclable aluminum and Surlyn resin, you have a product giving you 25+ years of structural life and aesthetic durability. There’s no cracking, rotting, or splintering like with timber or generic WPC. You don’t pay replacement and maintenance fees in the long term.
In addition, our product comes with 30% less ocean freight and a risk of shipping damage reduced by 50% over traditional WPC, making it an economical option for international projects.
Key Alumverde Decking Features
Weather Resistance and Durability
Alumverde decking has a very low water absorption capacity (<0.5%) and minimum thermal expansion, making it ideal for coastal or tropical climates. The corrosion-resistant 6063-T5 aluminum core is matched with a Surlyn finish that resists delamination and fading with prolonged UV exposure.
Our LuxeFlow Decking™ comes equipped with a drainage channel that chases water in a highly efficient way to prevent leakage, making it ideal for balcony and high-rise applications.
Low Maintenance Requirements
No sanding, sealing, or staining necessary. The co-extruded Surlyn surface is highly resistant to wear and hardness, so it won’t wear out its wood-feel texture even without periodic treatments. Once in a while, cleaning with mild soap and water will keep it looking its best.
Slip-Resistant and Safe Surface
Safety first outside. Our decking floors feature embossed 3D anti-slip designs with wood grain mimicry, providing both appearance and grip in wet conditions too. Over and above this, ALumverde decking meets ASTM E84 Class A fire resistance standards, making it suitable for high-rise and commercial uses.
Design Flexibility for Any Balcony
Color and Texture Choices
Aesthetics are of importance for your outdoor space. We offer a thoughtfully designed palette consisting of Teak, Oak, Walnut, Dark Grey, IPE, and Ashwood—all in wood grain, brush, or plain finishes. This makes it possible to seamlessly blend with the current design vocabulary of your structure.
Our LuxeFlow Decking™ product series even offers bi-color options like Walnut+Ashwood or IPE+Antique within a single plank, offering maximum design autonomy.
Compatibility with Modern Architecture
Benefiting from the minimalist design and elegant wood look, Alumverde decking balances with contemporary architecture yet provides structural benefits like higher span capacity (up to 6m) without bending or cracking. It is the ideal choice for new-generation apartments, luxury condos, and business rooftops.
Easy Installation Process
Lightweight Structure for Quick Setup
Alumverde material is far less heavy than WPC alternatives but still maintains outstanding rigidity—labor time is reduced by up to 30%. The aluminum core allows for greater joist spans (up to 1m), simplifying substructure design.
Tools and Support Offered by Alumverde
Our installation system includes concealed butterfly clips for decking and threaded screws/rivets for square tube frame structures. Edge trims, corner brackets, plastic end caps, and even M6/M8 compliant rivet guns are also included by us, giving the installer all they need for a hassle-free process.
Creating Comfort and Beauty
Designing a Charming Outdoor Oasis
Alumverde decking transforms balconies into cozy enclaves. With wood-textured appearances and cool surfaces even in direct sunlight (30% less heat absorption), your outdoor haven is comfortable throughout the year.
From an evening of entertaining friends to a peaceful coffee nook in the morning, our decking gives timeless beauty with none of the maintenance headaches of traditional materials.
Furniture and Lighting Integration Tips
Use dark shades like Dark Grey or Teak as a background color and subsequently highlight metal or rattan outdoor furniture. Use low-profile LED strip lighting along edge trims or decking grooves to produce warm evening lighting. Our hidden fastening system ensures no screws spoil your visual cohesion.
Conclusion
By choosing ALumverde™, you’re not just installing a deck; you’re elevating your lifestyle with an aluminum-powered solution that harmonizes the natural beauty of wood with unmatched engineering expertise. From aesthetic depth to structural benefit—and from fire resilience to eco-friendly sourcing—our products redefine balcony living.
FAQ
Q: How long can Alumverde decking endure?
A: With minimal maintenance and proper installation, Alumverde’s composite decking made of aluminum-wood can maintain structural integrity for over 20 years. We are currently following WPC industry warranty standards, but plan to extend coverage as additional third-party testing is done.
Q: Is it simple to clean Alumverde decking?
A: Yes. Its Surlyn resin finish won’t stain, mildew, or become dirty. Simply rinse with water or wipe with a soft cloth and mild detergent every so often.
Q: Do I install it myself, or do I hire professionals?
A: While do-it-yourself installation is possible with our concealed clip systems and lightweight, we still recommend the use of professionals for ultimate results—especially on high-rise balconies where accuracy and safety are most important.
Q: Will it fade over time if exposed to sunlight?
A: Our UV-tested Surlyn coating (rated Grey Scale 4.5 after 3000h exposure) ensures color stability long term. This is superior fade protection to regular WPC and powder-coated aluminium products.
