Next Generation Framing

Versatile, durable, adaptable and sustainable: There’s much to appreciate about steel framing. It’s responsible for opening up a whole new category of design opportunities within the outdoor living space, and can be used for deck framing, staircases and freestanding structures like cabanas and pergolas. Structural steel is built to last. It also integrates beautifully with a wide variety of materials so it is a great choice whether your taste runs to the traditional or contemporary. Steel can also be recycled and recyclable, making it a more sustainable choice than wood.

Steel Deck Framing: The Benefits

Streamlined and modern, steel offers commercial-grade strength for deck framing that’s engineered to last 25 years or more. The material is also resistant to fire and there’s no danger of rotting or warping or splitting. A powder-coated finish also provides increased corrosion resistance and a finished look – it virtually disappears beneath your deck boards!
