Designed for class A balconies and terraces. Compliant with BS 8579, Approved Doc B and DCLG fire safety rules.

Substructure system using MetalPad Ex pedestals that has been designed to adhere to fire safety rules while also creating a high-performance platform for paving and decking projects.

All components have been specifically designed to integrate into the system. The aluminium rails/ joists fit to the fire-rated MetalPad Ex adjustable pedestal via wing nut fixings. The system is highly versatile, and the substructure can be built to as low as 41 mm. Using rail-to-rail headpieces will enable a framework of multiple support beams to be built to very large height thresholds, whilst still maintaining durability and stability.
