Dating back to 1958, the Good Design Awards are Australia’s most renowned annual international award for design and innovation – and receiving this award is the highest honour for innovative products in the Australian market. The jury evaluate entries based on their design, innovative features and impact on their target market.
DecoDeck® received a Good Design Award in the category of Product Design Hardware and Building, which celebrates innovative designs for the architectural market.
DecoDeck® is a sublimated, powder coated aluminium decking system that combines the form, feel and appearance of natural timber with the longevity and durability of aluminium. Available in a wide range of timber grain finishes that replicate popular timber species, DecoDeck is a low-maintenance alternative to timber decking that will not rot, warp or require restaining or oiling.
Made from 100% non-combustible aluminium, DecoDeck® also offers a fire-safe decking solution for bushfire areas that complies with Australian Standards AS 1530.1 and AS 1530.3. With a corrosion-resistant, weather-resistant and slip-resistant finish, DecoDeck® is also an excellent option for waterfront decks, decking in coastal homes and poolside decking.
DecoDeck® is also an environmentally friendly choice – made from recyclable aluminium with a VOC-free powdercoat finish, DecoDeck® reduces the need for logging and releases no harmful chemicals into the atmosphere.
The Good Design Awards Jury praised DecoDeck as a “very innovative locking system that has been cleverly designed and helps elevate this product in the market. Great use of 100% non-combustible aluminium is not only better from an environmental design point of view, but also a great solution for building in bushfire zones, coastal areas and for use in commercial walkways.”
“DecoDeck® is one of its kind: the perfect timber deck minus the fire risk, slip hazard and ongoing maintenance,” said DECO Director and DecoDeck® designer Ross Doonan. “Architects, designers and builders alike are beginning to recognise the significant long-term benefits of specifying DecoDeck®, and this award will really hammer home what an amazing solution it is.”
Available in two different width profiles and with a unique, simple fixing system and a realistic sublimated timber-look finish, DecoDeck® is attractive, easy to install and will recreate the timber deck aesthetic Australians love, minus the hassle.
