Steel-Framed Elevated Decks
Create a fire-resistant, steel-framed deck that will last years longer than it’s wood-framed counterpart. Using interlocking joists, you can have a sturdy, safe deck that’s easy to install and maintain for years to come.
Why steel-framed decks?
✔️ Attractive, durable, and virtually maintenance free
✔️ Waterproof deck protects patio below
✔️ More resistant to fire damage than a wood deck
✔️ Costs less than redwood or synthetic decks
✔️ Can be topped with 4” of concrete, pavers, or stone
✔️ Can add surface radiant heating to melt snow on the deck
