Overcoming Timber Failures to Restore a Balcony Space

The original balcony had deteriorated badly, boards were buckling, splitting and degrading with weather exposure. The client needed a long-term solution that would resist damp conditions and harsh weather while creating a safe, stable area that could be used for relaxation and small gatherings.

Slate Frontier Decking & Durable Substructure

The solution involved Slate Frontier composite decking, chosen for its wood-grain texture, water resistance, and durability. The new deck was built over Manticore plastic lumber joists to prevent rot and warping. The project turned a failing balcony into a clean, sleek space built to last.

“Disappointed with poorly fitted decking causing buckling and splitting in warmer months, the owner sought a durable replacement. The need for a resilient solution led them to a sleek, modern balcony area, offering both durability and aesthetic appeal.”
