With more focus on the
importance of fire-rating than ever, long-standing F.H. Brundle have responded
with a stylish, versatile and easy-fit decking product that’s excelled in fire
testing. Head of Marketing Paul Smith explains more.
Today, the word on the lips of every architect working on
high-rise buildings is fire safety.
But it’s not just architects – it’s the government, local
authorities, construction companies, clients and the public as a whole, too.
The events of the last five years have thrust fire safety into the
spotlight like never before – and those responsible for designing and
constructing the tower blocks of tomorrow are understandably demanding products
with outstanding fire credentials.
It was in response to rising demand for fire-rated decking
applicable to high-rise settings that we developed Synergised.
Excelling on all fronts
The idea was simple – we wanted to create a tough, long-lasting
decking that excelled on all fronts, but offered reliable high performance in
particular. That’s exactly what Synergised delivers.
Synergised is A1 & A2fl-s1 fire-rated for commercial and
residential buildings, making it ideal for high-rise applications.
What’s more, it’s made from structural-grade 6063 T6 aluminium,
and finished with a 100-micron Qualicoat™ premium powder coating, giving it
exceptional colour retention, even after years of exposure to the sun.
Its highly slip-resistant surface is comfortable underfoot, and
stays cool in hot weather, while the system itself is extremely quick and easy
to install and can offer up to a 50% cost saving when compared to similar
systems.
It's also tested to EN 13501, EN 13823 and EN ISO 1716, and comes
in three colours – anthracite, black and Serengeti sand.
Speedy installations
On top of all that, Synergised is extremely quick and easy to
install, offers a 50% cost saving when compared to similar systems, and comes
with a life expectancy of over 25 years.
Its mill finish subframe is available in 3 heights with the 20mm
option ideal for ultra-low profile applications. Lightweight and easy to cut,
it’s extremely quick to assemble and fit.
The system’s adjustable cradles make for a very simple install,
too – with height adjustment ranging from 45mm to 180mm, which, combined with
our joist profiles, will deliver decking at the exact angle required.
The perfect product for high-rise
In other words, you’ll struggle to find a decking product that’s
as stylish, versatile, easily installed and suited for balconies and other
high-rise applications than Synergised aluminium deck boards.
An outstanding timber alternative
However, aluminium isn’t all that Synergised has to offer. The
range also includes a selection of Italian-made porcelain tiles, that are a
perfect fit for an array of patio installations.
The La Fabbrica collection is available in two options –
Ca’Foscari, which recreates the warmth and natural appearance of textured wood,
and Yosemite, which boasts wood-like knots and veining.
Again, installation could not be easier, with tiles installed directly
onto a flat concrete surface. Once installed, the system is long-lasting and
low maintenance with a manufacturer’s limited lifetime warranty on the tiles
and a product life expectancy of 25 years plus.
It’s a fantastic addition that makes one of the leading
timber-alternative decking systems even better.
