Why Choose Aluminum Profiles as Deck Material

As an important building material in modern society, decking is widely used in the construction of docks, house balconies, stairs, bridges and ships. So which deck material to choose has always been what consumers want to know.

Let’s Know why aluminum profile is the best material for decks today：

First of all, aluminum profile deck shape is flexible and variable.

Since aluminum profiles are obtained by aluminum extrusion, it is possible to obtain different shapes of decks by changing the dimensions of the die. For example, U-shape and T-shape decks. Then it can be used in more complex buildings than decks made of other materials. For example, mall decks and stairs. This is the deck material that designers want.

Secondly, aluminum profile decking has corrosion resistance and waterproof performance.

Because aluminum alloy 6063-T5 or 6005-T6 is used as the material of aluminum profile deck. It is able to keep the surface unchanged in long time seawater environment or wet condition. This means that choosing aluminum profile decking as the material of wharf and ship can reduce the maintenance cost and ensure the safety of personnel.

Thirdly, aluminum decking is strong.

Because the aluminum profile deck is obtained by extruding aluminum alloy. Therefore, it is able to withstand high strength impacts as a deck and can withstand high weights. Generally, aluminum decks are able to withstand 1,300 pounds per square foot and have a strength of 600 MPa. Aluminum decking can be used as a building platform to protect the structural installation and protect the occupants in the event of an earthquake or impact.

Fourth, aluminum decks can be customized in appearance.

This is because aluminum profiles are capable of surface finishing. The color appearance is achieved through the use of anodizing, powder coating and anodic electrophoresis. Compare this to traditional deck materials such as wood, plastic and steel. It is able to achieve a gradient color appearance and a matte finish. When you want a more luxurious and stylish design look for your private home, aluminum decking is your best choice.

In summary

Aluminum decks are flexible in shape, corrosion-resistant, waterproof, strong, impact-resistant, and able to be customized in appearance and color compared to decks made of other materials. Consumers should choose a deck material based on their budget and design requirements. Aluminum profile decking may not be the best solution for you, but it is excellent and suitable as a decking material!
