Discover Dura Deck Inspire, the durable and stylish alternative to traditional timber decking. Ideal for balconies, high-rise structures, and terraces, our non-combustible 1.8m porcelain planks replicate classic aesthetics and natural wood grains.
Introducing our stylish and durable porcelain decking range. Dura Deck® Inspire Porcelain Decking planks are strong, resistant to heat and water absorption, and come with an A1 fire rating. Expertly crafted in three elegant colour tones, each plank features a beautifully variegated wood grain finish, offering the timeless appeal of luxury hardwood without the maintenance. Each plank measures 20 x 200 x 1800mm for a classic decking look, which requires minimal upkeep and offers exceptional strength. Superb anti-slip performance also makes it a safe choice for high-traffic areas like commercial walkways, spas, and pool-sides.
The porcelain composition minimises the need for maintenance and has excellent anti-scratch and anti-slip properties. It is also resistant to frost and ice, with near-zero water absorption, allowing the planks to withstand temperature fluctuations without the risk of warping or degradation.
Manufactured in Europe using 61% pre-consumer recycled materials, our decking is an environmentally conscious choice. All raw materials are sourced within a 500-mile radius, reducing our carbon footprint, while our paper-based packaging is fully recycled and recyclable, helping you meet your sustainability targets.
With the appearance of traditional decking and a safe A1 fire rating, Dura Deck Inspire planks are suited to high end commercial applications. They are resilient, stylish and anti-slip, making them perfect for high-rise balconies, rooftop terraces, pool sides and restaurants. The decking comes with a minimum lifetime expectancy of 60 years and a 10-year structural warranty. Request a sample today and experience the beauty and durability of Dura Deck® Inspire for yourself.

Enter Dura Deck Inspire, a porcelain decking collection that is unlike other porcelain slabs. Its 1.8m long design not only replicates the classic ‘plank’ aesthetic but also captures the intricate nuances of natural wood grains.
The silvery grey Dove tones of Dura Deck Inspire evoke the feeling of a peaceful and harmonious outdoor space – perfect for pairing with exotic planting schemes with bold, dramatic foliage. Our most popular colour, Dove planks can be easily integrated into any commercial high-rise balcony or terrace project thanks to their modular linear decking format and ease of handling.
Express your own unique style with deep, rich toned Merula porcelain decking. Thanks to their anti-slip surface, non-combustibility and low-maintenance finish, the planks are perfect for high traffic pedestrian areas where muddy footprints are common, such as skywalks and walkways. With subtle variation from plank to plank, Merula creates a relaxing haven for daytime dreaming and a dramatic backdrop for nighttime gatherings.
Soft, sandy tones can be found throughout our Wren colour porcelain decking. With subtle distinctions from plank to plank, you can create real impact for a range of projects from pool sides to commercial landscaping to apartment terraces. Appealing to lovers of both modern and traditional styling, it is our most realistic wood effect plank. A great alternative to conventional hardscape materials and with none of the drawback of timber decking, choose Dura Deck Inspire in Wren for your outdoor project.
Dura Deck Inspire has one of the best anti slip ratings on the market in both wet and dry. If you’re responsible for the safety of others in your buildings and premises, then your risk assessment should consider all the factors which contribute to the potential for slip accidents, so you can make an informed decision about the best flooring material for your specific needs. Please see the Pendulum Test Values (PTV) below or find out more about our testing.

Once the Plank Retainer (Patent GB2620808) is mechanically fixed into place, it enables a floating porcelain decking system to be installed under self-weight in scenarios such as open steel framed balconies, without the risk of planks falling.
Providing pre-set gapping between the planks, the galvanised steel system also helps prevent wind uplift and allows for the quick removal of the decking for maintenance and inspection of the substructure.
The 3mm Cross Spacer ensures consistent even spacing between your Dura Deck Inspire planks. With all 4 tabs in place, the Cross Spacer is used at the junction between 4 tiles. With 2 tabs removed, the spacer is used where 2 planks meet.
Our Dura Deck Inspire Wall Clips simply slot over the end of the planks to create a gap between the porcelain and the wall. With a spring loaded movement, the clip provides a 5 to 15mm range.
Our A2 fire-rated Dura Pedestals and Dura Bearers can be easily combined to suit all project needs, offering a superior alternative to timber subframes that can twist, rot, or warp over time. With varying heights of pedestals and bearers, our system provides the most economical substructure combination on the market. The Dura Aluminium System is suitable for use as a decking substructure on external balconies, terraces, gardens, industrial flooring and for use as cladding battens.
