When it comes to outdoor flooring solutions, CDeck Cement Fibre Decking from Wallbarn offers a perfect blend of safety, style and durability. Meticulously engineered to reflect the appeal of traditional timber or composite decking but fully compliant with modern fire regulations, this system brings together peace of mind and elegant design. Whether for a residential terrace, rooftop balcony or bustling commercial courtyard, CDeck is the contemporary benchmark.
Non‑Combustible and Fire‑Safe
At the heart of CDeck ’s design is its non‑combustible nature. Garnering a Class A fire rating, it ticks all the boxes for projects subject to the latest fire safety requirements. This high-level certification reassures architects, developers and end‑users alike that elevated outdoor platforms—from balconies to podium decks—remain safe under tight regulatory scrutiny. CDeck combines aesthetic sensibility with uncompromising safety.
Timber Looks, Without the Hassle
CDeck delivers rich timber aesthetics without the common drawbacks of natural wood. Gone are concerns about warping, rotting or splintering—issues that plague traditional decking in damp northern climates. Instead, CDeck’s fibre cement composition offers a beautifully consistent wood‑grain effect and tone, with texture and colour running throughout each board. That means if it’s scratched or abraded, the damage is barely noticeable.
Anti‑Slip and Solid Underfoot
Consideration has been given to both safety and comfort. The boards are anti‑slip, providing secure footing even when wet, making them ideal for balconies and other areas prone to moisture. Unlike aluminium decking—which can heat up and reverberate underfoot—CDeck retains a stable temperature and feels solid. Users can walk barefoot comfortably, and heavy furniture won’t sound hollow or ping.
Built for Longevity
Designed for longevity, CDeck boards are resistant to UV rays, frost, algae and rot. They won’t fade in sunlight, warp in temperature swings or absorb moisture—making them ideal for year‑round performance in Britain’s unpredictable weather. Thanks to their dense, scratch‑resistant surface, the boards handle high footfall and commercial wear with ease, while remaining low‑maintenance.
Robust Installation System
The boards are mechanically fixed, eliminating the risk of wind uplift and ensuring a secure, flush finish. Hidden clips deliver clean lines—no visible screws spoiling the visual flow of the decking. Whether part of Wallbarn’s integrated substructure or a bespoke build, installers can achieve a polished, cohesive finish with minimal fuss.
Weight, Warranty and Confidence
CDeck boards pack substance: at approximately 42 kg per square metre, they offer a reassuring heft underfoot—further negating hollow sound. Every system carries a 30‑year limited warranty, speaking volumes about Wallbarn’s confidence in the product’s durability and ongoing performance.
Ideal for Domestic and Commercial Projects
CDeck bridges the gap between domestic refinement and commercial resilience. Its timber aesthetics satisfy homeowners seeking sophisticated outdoor living enhancements, while its Class A fire rating and robust build meet the technical demands of high‑spec developments. From balcony terraces to commercial roof‑top lounges, CDeck adapts seamlessly.
Comparison with Alternative Materials
While aluminium decking may be lightweight and corrosion‑resistant, it has drawbacks: it overheats in direct sun, conducts noise and often feels hollow. Timber and composite decks suffer from rot, fade and maintenance demands. CDeck offers the best of all worlds: a natural appearance, minimal upkeep, and structural integrity—without compromise.
Sustainable and Practical
Fibre cement is inherently sustainable. Made from clay, cement and reinforcing fibres, it avoids plastics and can be fully recycled. Each board is coloured throughout, reducing the need for chemical treatments. With minimal maintenance—occasional sweeping or rinsing—the system remains visually appealing without varnishing, oiling or staining.
Applications and Flexibility
CDeck is perfectly suited to any raised deck structure—balconies, roof terraces, staircases, walkways and podiums. Combined with Wallbarn’s pedestals and substructure systems, it ensures efficient drainage and easy access to services beneath. The hidden clip system allows simple removal of individual boards—useful for maintenance or replacements—offering unparalleled flexibility.
Supporting Materials and Technical Back‑Up
Wallbarn provides comprehensive support materials for C‑Deck installations: CAD and DWG specification files, product brochures, installation guides and operation & maintenance manuals. These resources assist architects and contractors in planning, designing and servicing decks, assuring both compliance and quality of execution.
