Michael Brundle, Managing Director at F.H. Brundle, discusses the company\u2019s outstanding aluminium decking system, Synergised.<\/p>\n
Think decking, and you probably think timber.<\/p>\n
But timber, as classically attractive and readily available as it is, has problems, as everyone in our sector is well aware.<\/p>\n
It will rot, it can twist and warp, and can require a great deal of maintenance to keep looking and performing its best.<\/p>\n
Which, in recent years, has led to the development of a wide range of alternatives.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Introducing Synergised<\/strong><\/p>\n Why aluminium? Because it\u2019s one of the most consistently excellent materials in modern construction.<\/p>\n It\u2019s strong, lightweight, highly recyclable, durable, and resistant to corrosion and other forms of wear.<\/p>\n With Synergised, our intention was to harness those great qualities to produce aluminium decking that excelled in several key respects.<\/p>\n We wanted a product that looked good \u2013 delivering the sleek aluminium aesthetics so sought-after by homeowners and developers alike.<\/p>\n We wanted one that was tough and long-lasting, offering excellent value for money \u2013 and we wanted one that performed to high standards when it came to safety and fire performance.<\/p>\n The result, made from structural-grade 6063 T6 aluminium, is one of the finest products of its kind on the market.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Synergised Original<\/strong><\/p>\n Our Synergised Original boards are quick and easy to install, offer a 50% cost saving when compared to similar systems, and come with a life expectancy of over 25 years.<\/p>\n Its highly slip-resistant surface is comfortable underfoot, and stays cool in hot weather, making it perfect for garden applications \u2013 while the fact it\u2019s A1 and A2fl-s1 fire-rated at heights of 18m for commercial buildings and 11m for residential make it ideal for high-rise settings.<\/p>\n It’s also tested to EN 13501, EN 13823 and EN ISO 1716, and comes in three colours \u2013 anthracite, black and Serengeti sand.<\/p>\n Synergised Connected<\/strong><\/p>\n Building on the success of the Synergised Original collection, we are delighted to introduce our latest addition to the range, Synergised Connected.<\/p>\n Synergised Connected\u2019s unique interlocking boards fit seamlessly together \u2013 there are no gaps.<\/p>\n The product has also just passed a series of rigorous anti-slip testing, demonstrating its suitability for a wide range of domestic and commercial settings. It is also A2fl-s1 fire-rated, making it ideal for decking and raised patio applications.<\/p>\n The system offers excellent weather performance thanks to its integrated drainage channels, which direct rainwater away from under the deck.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n What\u2019s more, boards fit neatly and quickly to the substructure, with fixings hidden from view by the next adjoining board, allowing for efficient installation and a tidy finish.<\/p>\n It\u2019s a fantastic addition that makes one of the leading timber-alternative decking systems even better.<\/p>\n Both the Connected and Original boards are compatible with our mill finish subframe, which is available in 3 joist height profiles, 20mm, 70mm and 120mm, with the 20mm option ideal for ultra-low profile applications. It\u2019s lightweight and easy to cut making it extremely quick to assemble and fit.<\/p>\n The adjustable cradles make for a very simple install, too \u2013 with height adjustment ranging from 45mm to 180mm, which, combined with our joist profiles, will deliver decking at the exact angle required.<\/p>\n
