What Are the Top Benefits of Aluminum Decking?


If you are replacing your old wood deck, the benefits of aluminum decking make it the most logical choice. Aluminum decks last much longer than wood ones. Even if you perform routine maintenance on a wood deck, it will rot away in about 20 years. In contrast, an aluminum deck will last a lifetime. They make your yard more attractive and functional. They are a cost-effective alternative to wood. Here are a few more great benefits of aluminum decking.


Aluminum Decking


Aluminum Decks Are Longer Lasting Than Wood

Moisture, sun exposure, and mildew destroy wood decks in a few years. Wood absorbs any moisture it's exposed to, whether it comes from the sky or an ill-placed sprinkler. Absorbing water softens the wood and causes it to swell. If the wood stays soaked for a long time, mildew will grow on the wood and discolor the surface. When the wood lays in direct sunlight it dries out. This constant cycle of swelling and drying can cause the wood to crack and splinter over time.


Aluminum decks cannot absorb moisture. And in fact, some aluminum decking materials have water-diverting channels built in. If you have an area underneath the deck you don't want wet, these aluminum decks could be what you have been looking for.


Aluminum Decks Don’t Attract Pests

As with any wood structure, termites and other boring insects can cause major damage to a wood deck. Until Mother Nature comes up with a metal-eating termite, your aluminum deck is safe from pest damage.

Aluminum Decks Are More Sustainable Than Wood

There is never a shortage of aluminum for fabricating decks and other structures. Piles of recyclable aluminum do the world no good just sitting there. But trees play a pivotal role in Earth's ecosystems. Without trees, none of us would be here because there would be no oxygen in the air. It's true that lumber companies replace the trees they harvest. But you don't have to worry about that problem with aluminum. Choosing an aluminum deck saves several trees' lives.


Aluminum Decks Are Low Maintenance

It is possible to extend the life of a wood deck with yearly care. But cleaning, repairing, and re-sealing a deck is expensive and backbreaking work. Some experts estimate it could cost up to $450 each year to maintain the average wood deck. When you choose an aluminum deck, all you have to do is hose it down and you're done. It doesn't get much more low-maintenance than that.
