Strong as steel - because it is steel.
Every understructure is under attack
From the day they are built, wood deck understructures are under attack. The forces of nature and the chemicals used to treat the lumber are hard at work compromising the stability of any traditional understructure… unless that understructure is a SteelDeck framing system.
Steel joists offer a deck framing solution that is strong, durable, efficient, economical and easy to install.
Armored-Plated Understructure
Constructed of a combination of 12, 14 and 16 gauge coated steel, SteelDeck is anything but a backyard project building material. It is an engineered structural system. Our coated steel is dimensionally stable; it doesn't expand, twist or warp, leaving the deck level like the day it was built. It provides the perfect foundation to any top surface decking material and helps eliminate many of the common problems associated with traditional understructures such as:
- Cracking
- Splitting
- Termites
- Damage-corrosion reactions
- Fire and water damage
- Mold and decay
