This is GRAD...
The new GRAD decking range from the Outdoor Deck Company is a fast-fit, invisible fixings system that gives you prestigious, high-end results - with significantly less effort than traditional installation methods.
We introduced our GRAD decking system to the UK in 2017 and since then most of our decking contracts have used it. We consider GRAD to have three clear advantages over traditional timber decking, which combine to make it the most efficient and effective system we have ever seen in the UK.
GRAD’s first advantage is the aluminium support rails on which it sits. These rails (available in different depths, depending on your load requirements) are designed to rest on height adjustable pedestals - a tried and tested raised floor construction technique, that has proved itself to be fast, strong and reliable on thousands of building sites over the last three decades. In one stroke, this feature eliminates all the install and maintenance problems inherent to traditional timber sub-frames.
GRAD’s second advantage is the unique ‘hidden fixing’ clip system it uses to instantly secure the specially profiled boards onto the support rails. Other hidden fixing systems we have used still have edge gripping brackets clearly visible in the gaps, whereas with GRAD all the clever clip stuff goes on underneath the boards. Hand pressure will secure each GRAD board into place, but then only a specially designed removal tool will enable that board to be released. Crucially, if you do need to change boards after installation, the GRAD system will allow you to do so with no damage to the surrounding timber whatsoever.
GRAD’s third advantage is the latest timber technology used for its board options. Currently we supply ThermoPine, ThermoAsh, Kebony and Accoya - all specially machined to take advantage of the instant lock clip system, and all treated and processed to give you rot-free guarantees that don’t just compete with the latest composite materials, but in some cases exceed them by many years. If you do need a composite option, we do that too.
Finally (and most importantly) what does all this mean to the aesthetics and economics of a commercial decking contract? The GRAD system means that you can now enjoy high-end, high-spec, composite or premium quality timber decks - installed with no visible fixings in about half the normal time. Compared to the best performing composite and hardwood systems, a GRAD deck is cheaper to buy, quicker to build and visually stunning.
Designed and manufactured in France, GRAD have been refining and improving their invisible fixing system since 1988. As the exclusive importers, we are now confident that the GRAD technology offers the very best combination of speed, strength, flexibility, accuracy, durability and economy that you will find in any decking or cladding product across the UK.
The Outdoor Deck Company is one of the UK’s largest suppliers and installers of external high-quality decking using premium grade timbers from the USA, Europe and UK.
