Steel-Core Structural Composite Decking: Class B1 Fire-Rated Engineering for High-Traffic Commercial Spaces
Product Overview
Engineered to exceed the rigorous demands of modern urban infrastructure, our Steel-Core™ Structural Decking represents the pinnacle of safety and durability. Unlike traditional hollow or solid WPC boards that may sag or warp over time, our decking features an integrated internal steel reinforcement.
Designed specifically for 400mm (40cm) joist spacing, it provides a rock-solid foundation that maintains absolute dimensional stability under heavy pedestrian loads, making it the premier choice for commercial boardwalks, hotel terraces, and public plazas across Europe and Oceania.
Key Technical Advantages
- Superior Fire Safety (Euroclass B1 / EN 13501-1):
With a Bfl-s1 fire rating, our decking meets the strictest safety codes for high-rise balconies and public escape routes. The fire-retardant outer shell, combined with a non-combustible steel core, ensures maximum protection in critical environments.
- Zero-Creep Structural Integrity:
Traditional composites are prone to "plastic creep" under sustained loads. Our internal steel structure absorbs the stress, ensuring that your deck remains perfectly level at 40cm spans, even after decades of high-traffic use.
Reinforced strength allows for higher point-load resistance compared to standard composite boards. It is built to support heavy commercial planters, outdoor furniture, and maintenance equipment without structural fatigue.
The steel core is fully encapsulated and treated for corrosion resistance, making it ideal for coastal projects in Australia and New Zealand where salt-spray and high UV exposure typically degrade lesser materials.

Why Specifiers Choose Us?
Our Steel-Core™ technology eliminates the common "bouncy" feel of standard composite decking. By maintaining a 40cm joist interval, you achieve a high-performance surface that combines the natural aesthetic of timber with the unyielding strength of steel.
