Today’s buildings treat balconies, terraces, and rooftop decks as real living rooms outdoors. The trouble is, rain and snow never stop trying to get inside. Left unchecked, water that pools on the surface or sneaks through gaps will rot frames, rust steel, and turn a beautiful space into an expensive headache.
ALumverde built Aluminum Co-Extrusion Luxeflow Decking to stop that from happening. It looks like real timber, feels warm under bare feet, yet it moves water away before it can ever cause trouble.
The Imperative of Dry Substructures
Regular wood swells and cracks. Older composites soak up moisture like a sponge and split when winter comes. On a high-rise balcony, the stakes are higher – fire codes are tough, and there is usually no easy way to fix leaks thirty floors up. One bad rainstorm can ruin the waterproof membrane and start years of hidden damage.
Introducing the Aluminum-Resin Composite Pioneer
ALumverde starts with a thick 6063-T5 aluminum core – the same grade used in aircraft parts. We wrap it in tough Surlyn resin using co-extrusion so the two materials bond for life. The finished board feels and looks almost exactly like solid hardwood, but nothing burns and nothing rots.
Distinction through Co-Extrusion and Surlyn Shield
This is not WPC, not ACP, and not ACM. It’s aluminum at heart. The Surlyn skin blocks 99% of UV rays and takes in zero water, even after ten coastal winters. Colors stay rich, and the surface refuses to peel or chalk.
Luxeflow Decking: Innovation in Water Management
Aluminum Co-Extrusion Luxeflow Decking is fully non-combustible and shaped from the start to handle heavy rain. Every single board has hidden channels that catch water the moment it lands and carry it straight to the edge.
Built-In Defense: The Core Drainage Channels
Look at the side of a board, and you’ll see a small gutter built right in. Rain runs along that gutter instead of dripping through the gaps. One board is 6 3/4’’ × 9/10’’ (171 mm × 23 mm), covers 5 1/2’’ (140 mm) of floor space, and weighs just 1.04 lbs per foot (1.55 kg/m). Light enough for roof decks, strong enough for daily traffic.
Seamless Integration: Edge & Joint Solutions That Stop Water Ingress
The system only works when every edge is covered. That’s why we make matching aluminium pieces:
- Water Guidance – aluminum gutter takes the flow to the downpipe.
- Perimeter Protection – aluminum siding hide raw edges and stop sideways splash.
- Sub-Structure Support – aluminum joist never see a drop of rain, so they stay straight forever.
With these parts in place, water has only one path to follow – out and away.
Performance, Aesthetics, and Flexibility
Safety and Comfort Metrics
Class A fire rating all the way – the strictest level for tall buildings. Wet or dry, feet don’t slip. On a sunny day, the surface stays up to 30% cooler than plain aluminum or regular composite boards, so kids and pets can play without burning their feet.
Design and Customized Options
Pick from six ready colors: Teak, Antique, Walnut, Ashwood, IPE, or Dark Grey. Choose the texture you like best – deep Woodweave, traditional Wood Grain, or subtle Brush. Need something different? Tell us the color code or send a sample; we make custom runs all the time.
Conclusion: Aluminum Co-Extrusion Decking Designed to Endure
ALumverde Aluminum Co-Extrusion Luxeflow Decking ends the old fight against water damage. Real wood looks, metal strength, and a cleverly built-in drainage path keep balconies and terraces bone-dry for decades – even on the windiest, wettest high-rise sites.

FAQ
Q: How is ALumverde different from WPC or ACP?
A: Solid 6063-T5 aluminum core wrapped in Surlyn resin – no water gets in, no fire spreads.
Q: How does Luxeflow stop standing water?
A: Hidden channels inside every board catch rain and send it straight to the gutter accessories.
Q: Will it work on a high-rise tower?
A: Yes – lightweight, Class A fire-rated, great grip, and already specified on projects worldwide.
Q: Can I order colors that aren’t in the standard six?
A: Of course. Custom colors and textures are a normal part of most jobs we do.
