Why Should I Use Aluminum Decking For My Outdoor Living Space

Aluminum Deck Boards: Same Conveniences Of Traditional Wood, But With Many Advantages

Unlike traditional wood or composite decking options, aluminum deck boards interlock in a way that creates a watertight walking surface. This feature creates a dry under deck area so you can enjoy your outdoor living space, even when it is raining. Place a hammock or a swing under your deck, relax, and watch the rain; park the lawnmower and other tools under your deck to keep them out of the elements, or create a workspace and complete outdoor projects year-round!

Aside from ease of installation and deck design benefits, homeowners love the fact aluminum deck boards are low-maintenance decking options---definitely requiring less maintenance than wood or composite decking. Aluminum decking is a lot more resistant to elements, such as water, sunlight, pests and even fire that can damage other types of decking materials, and the powder coated aluminum finish never needs to be stained or sealed.  Your aluminum deck will need to be washed periodically (depending on conditions) with a mild soap and soft brush---no pressure washer required! (As a matter of fact, we recommend against the use of pressure washers or chemical cleaners, because they could potentially damage paint or cause abrasions to the surface of your deck boards.)

Aluminum decking surfaces are also excellent for marine applications. Our marine-grade aluminum decking is not susceptible to the same warping, rotting, splitting and fading problems that are encountered with wood and composite decking in marine environments. Aluminum deck is also the perfect deck surface for in upper-level sun decks, or party decks, on boat docks. Aluminum deck creates an attractive and low-maintenance upper deck for your dock that will also protect and channel rain away from boats, personal watercraft, and outdoor furniture.

Aluminum decks stay cooler to the touch than wood or composite decking when exposed to extreme temperatures because aluminum decking reflects and dissipates heat much better than more dense wood and composite decking materials.
