A TIME SAVING ALUMINIUM SUBFRAME SYSTEM
19 Aug 2025
Futurewood offers a lightweight rust- and rot-proof aluminium subframe system to support the decking as well as a vast range of premium composite timber profiles for decking, composite timber screening, fencing, and cladding.
Now you can match the quality, long-life, rot-proof and minimal maintenance composite timber decking from Futurewood with a long-life, easy to install subframe solution.
The CleverDeck structural aluminium deck framing system was engineered to help construct a level, rot-proof subframe with less screwing and drilling proving to be a major time and money saver. The system includes a range of three different sized, high-load capacity joists and adjustable height pedestals, along with quick fix brackets and clips to allow the option of constructing a perfectly level, rot-proof subframe to support CleverDeck composite decking boards.
The powder-coated aluminium joists and bearers are corrosion resistant, moisture proof and will not rot, providing a long-life, hassle free subframe that will stand the test of time. They offer spans of up to 1800mm.
Working with long, light weight and perfectly straight aluminium joists and bearers makes for an easier build. This theme continues with the use of innovative quick fix clips and brackets and a specially designed top plate that means the joists literally snap in place on the pedestal, no screws required, just a simple 'click'!
The entire system has been expertly planned to fit together easily with less screws, saving time and money and creating a level and stable surface to fix your decking to from heights as low as 48mm and up to 523mm.
The aluminium deck framing system provides the perfect structure for Futurewood’s CleverDeck range of premium composite timber decking.
Before and After
This deck is finished with CleverDeck Xtreme in the colour Rustic Merbau. This composite timber decking is manufactured with an outer layer or cap made of a virgin polymer blend that allows the use of vibrant colour hues with subtle streaking combined with a subtle grain pattern to create a stunning timber like decking “look”. The CleverDeck Xtreme range boasts seven designer colours from light greys to black and traditional timber tones. The boards are available in either a 138mm or 185mm-wide boards with a scalloped back to improve heat flow, making the boards both cooler and lighter. They are BAL-29 rated and supplied with a grooved edge profile allowing a concealed fix using the Futurewood deck clip system. The hard outer shell offers greater scratch resistance, is virtually waterproof, and is easy to clean.
