If you’re looking for a deck that stays strong, straight, and safe for decades, steel deck framing is the upgrade you need!
Why Choose Steel?
Traditional pressure-treated lumber isn’t what it used to be. Today’s wood is sourced from fast-growing trees and treated with modern chemicals that result in inconsistent performance. It often arrives overly wet or extremely dry – causing unpredictable shrinking, twisting, or warping as it dries. These issues can compromise the integrity and appearance of your deck over time.
Steel deck framing eliminates these concerns.
The Benefits of Steel Deck Framing
- Perfectly Straight and Level – Steel deck framing won’t warp, twist, or bow over time.
- Durability That Lasts – Resistant to moisture, insects, and rot for decades of worry-free performance.
- Class 1A Fire Rating – Steel is non-combustible and meets the highest residential fire safety standards.
- Stronger Load Capacity – Engineered to support longer spans and heavier materials with ease.
- Low Maintenance – No need for sealing or treating like traditional lumber.
Build it Right from the Ground Up
Steel deck framing provides a superior foundation that enhances the lifespan and performance of your entire outdoor living space. Whether you’re building a composite deck, a rooftop terrace, or a ground-level platform, steel ensures a rock-solid start.
