BalcoDeck® Layered System Strategy - BalcoDeck® USPs
INTRODUCTION
This article explains how each anchorage method interacts to create a stable, wind-resistant, membrane-safe decking system. It combines technical depth with marketing clarity.
SECTION 1 — WHY A MULTI-LAYERED STRATEGY MATTERS
Single-method anchorage systems fail when:
• Adhesive compatibility is poor
• Wind forces exceed assumptions
• Membranes fail in peel
BalcoDeck® avoids these shortcomings by layering:
SECTION 2 — LAYER 1: ADHESIVE BONDING
The backbone of uplift and lateral resistance.
SECTION 3 — LAYER 2: SYSTEM WEIGHT & BALLASTING
Controls uplift through mass and friction.
SECTION 4 — LAYER 3: FRICTIONAL CONTROL
Reducing reliance on adhesives improves safety margins.
SECTION 5 — LAYER 4: PERIMETER ENGAGEMENT
Provides natural bracing.
SECTION 6 — LAYER 5: OPTIONAL MECHANICAL FIXINGS
Redundant anchorage at critical locations.
SECTION 7 — BalcoDeck® USPs
BalcoDeck® differentiates itself by:
• Being fully freestanding
• Protecting membranes
• Exceeding wind safety expectations
• Offering a “designed, not guessed” solution
CONCLUSION
BalcoDeck® is not simply a decking system — it is an engineered rooftop safety platform.
