Our team recently visited XQ7, a residential development in Manchester, where a balcony remediation project has been completed by installer QFF (Quality Fast Facades).
The specification for this project was our Lite Board, an A-Rated aluminium decking board designed specifically with remediation and retrofit applications in mind. Fire-rated to A2-s1,d0 and A2fl-s1, the Lite Board is slip-resistant, low-maintenance, and comes with a 30-year manufacturer product warranty and a minimum 60-year expected lifespan, aligning with the design life of the buildings it serves.
For XQ7, the Lite Board was supplied as a custom extruded length, tailored precisely to the project. Producing boards to the exact lengths required removes on-site cutting and eliminates material waste, which is better for the environment and delivers cost savings for the project.
Residents at XQ7 now benefit from safe, compliant, and attractive balcony spaces for decades to come.
