Steel Deck Framing is a Great Option for Custom Decks

 

Metal-Decking-4

If you are going to invest in a long lasting custom deck, invest in a long lasting frame.

Create a strong, straight, flat and safe (class 1A fire rated) frame with steel deck framing. Pressure treated lumber has changed: old growth to new growth, treating process and unpredictable characteristics of the lumber. Sometimes the lumber is extremely wet or dry. Which can change the dimensions and when and how it dries can cause shrinking, warping and twisting. These characteristics can be eliminated by a Galvanized Steel Frame.

  • Longer spans allow for fewer post and less obstructed views
  • Straighter- no warping
  • Consistent dimensions mean a level & flat finished surface
  • Non-combustible material has a class 1A fire rating
  • Rot & termite proof steel will last much longer than wood.
  • Very little waste. Steel is delivered to the job site pre-cut
