The Challenge: Delivering High Performance in Tight Parameters
At Brentford Waterside, the design and installation of balcony decking demanded solutions that balanced efficiency, precision, and compliance. The project required decking boards with a superior span to optimise the steel framework, speed up installation, and ensure durability while adhering to fire safety and slip resistance standards.


The Solution: BalcaSmart Aluminium System with DFB Decking Boards
RYNO’s BalcaSmart® Aluminium Decking System, featuring DFB Direct Fix Aluminium Decking Boards, was the perfect fit for Brentford Waterside. This solution delivered on every critical factor:
- Efficient Steel Spacing: The DFB100 board’s span reduced the number of steel supports required, improving installation efficiency and material usage.
- Ease of Installation: A wide clip-in channel allowed balcony lifting eyes to remain in place during board installation, minimizing the need for refitting on-site.
- Certified Compliance: The system met rigorous fire, slip, and durability standards, offering peace of mind to stakeholders.


Real Results: A Streamlined and Certified Balcony Solution
The BalcaSmart Aluminium system enabled fast and precise installation without compromising performance. The RAL7016 finish provided a sleek, modern aesthetic, complementing the overall design of the waterside development.
Through close collaboration with Dearneside Fabrications Ltd, RYNO ensured the project met every specification requirement, resulting in durable, compliant, and visually striking balcony spaces.
