Where Aluminum Decking Can Be Used
Aluminum deck is a deck made of aluminum alloy material, which is lightweight, strong, and corrosion-resistant. Based on these characteristics, it can be applied in the following scenarios.
1. Ship decks
Aluminum decking can be used for ship decks. Since aluminum deck is obtained by extruding aluminum alloy. Aluminum alloy is corrosion and oxidation resistant. This means that it is able to be used on ships as a deck material. Since ships need to sail in seawater for a long time, aluminum alloy deck can maintain the surface color and luster in the face of seawater corrosion and harsh weather conditions.
2. Dock Deck
Aluminum decking can be used in docks. Because aluminum alloy is weather and corrosion resistant, it makes a good dock deck. Docks are built on saltwater or freshwater environments that require excellent waterproofing and corrosion resistance. These are capabilities that aluminum decking has. So it can be a building material for docks.

3. Outdoor Deck
Aluminum decking can be used as outdoor construction material. Its high strength and diversified appearance and color make it can be the building material for house balcony, patio or staircase steps. Because aluminum decking can be anodized or powder coated to obtain hundreds of surface colors, which can meet most designers’ requirements for house decoration.
4. Bridge Decking
Aluminum decking can be used for bridge construction. Because of its light weight and good load-bearing properties, aluminum decking is the most desirable option for architects. This is because it is lighter in weight compared to other materials. This means that the energy consumption ratio is reduced and the load bearing and stress of the bridge is increased more effectively. For the later maintenance costs can also be effectively reduced.
In summary
Aluminum decking can be used in construction projects such as ships, marinas, outdoor construction platforms, bridges and more. The characteristics of aluminum decking make it an excellent building deck, and there will be more applications in the future as the cost of manufacturing aluminum decking decreases.
