Advantages of Steel Deck Framing

The foundation of your new outdoor sanctuary with a beautiful, low-maintenance deck is crucial. What is equally important is the framing underlying the deck.

Decks have traditionally been framed with pressure-treated lumber, which is not durable. Exposure to harsh weather can damage its structure and aesthetics. That’s where steel framing deck structures shine, delivering value and making them your best option.

Durability: Steel framing is highly durable and resistant to warping, rotting, and decay, the common issues one faces with wood framing. Steel framing can withstand extreme weather conditions and is less susceptible to damage from pests.
Stability and Strength: Steel is a strong and stable material, providing excellent structural support for your deck. It offers superior load-bearing capabilities, allowing for larger spans and fewer support columns, resulting in a more open and spacious deck design.
Longevity: Steel framing has a longer lifespan than wood. Neither does it degrade over time, nor does it require regular maintenance. This means fewer repairs and replacements, saving you time and money in the long run.
Fire Resistance: Steel is non-combustible, making it a safer option than wood when it comes to fire resistance. It can help reduce the risk of fire and provide added peace of mind to the homeowners.
Straight and Consistent: Steel framing is manufactured to precise specifications, ensuring straight and consistent pieces. This results in a levelled and even deck surface, making installation easier and ensuring a professional finish.
Environmentally Friendly: Steel is a recyclable material, making it an eco-friendly option for those concerned about sustainability. It can be recycled at the end of its lifespan, reducing its environmental impact.

My husband and I live in a typical east end semi and this past summer we interviewed with different contractors to build a new back deck, we knew we... wanted to go with composite material as we wanted something that would last a long time and that was low maintenance. After meeting with 5 different companies, we decided to hire GTA decks. When Serge came to see the site, he was professional, informative and efficient. He answered all of our questions and addressed all of our concerns with ease and confidence.He did warn us that the permit process may take a few weeks which it did but once the permit was approved, Jason from Serge's team was quick to start the project and got it done within 2 weeks. He was friendly, professional and very skilled! Serge also let us know the aluminum railings would take a while to come in but once it did, his team was ready to install them immediately.Overall, Serge was very helpful and he definitely knows what he's talking about when it comes to decks. We did have to follow up a few times regarding scheduling and timing, however Serge was on top of it and made sure everything was transparent. We would highly recommend GTA decks, we enjoyed working with them and most importantly we love our new deck!read more

With so many deck builders out there, we finally settled with GTA Decks, as Serge provided professional service throughout and the deck was completed... with care. We have a walkout basement so the deck is 9ft off the ground, Serge took care of applying for a permit etc. With the pandemic, the city took a while to process the papers, however, drawings had to be revised and re-submitted to include a staircase to the garden for obvious reasons as this was not in our initial plan. But once it was all approved, Serge and his team completed the project. We are looking forward to enjoying our deck this summer. GTA Decks is top quality and you will not be disappointed.read more
