ALUMINIUM DECK FRAME SYSTEM

Introducing the future of decking: Futurewood’s CleverDeck Structural Aluminium Subframe System, the perfect complement to the CleverDeck range of composite decking boards!

The structural aluminium deck framing includes a range of three different sized high-load capacity joists and adjustable pedestals along with quick fix brackets and clips to allow the option of constructing a rot proof subframe to support a CleverDeck composite decking boards.

This is the ideal solution for every customer, a great product that can be used in just about every situation, including in tight spaces where you would like a deck to be built so that can flow from indoor to outdoor without a step, but there are maximum height limitations that conventional decking systems, including those using LVL beams, don’t meet.

The specially designed aluminum profiles come in sizes of 25mm, 50mm, and 90mm with a high load capacity. By using either individual joists or in combination with bearers, they can span between 600mm and 1800mm, depending on the design of the deck and the surface it is being built on.

The system covers a range of sizes from 48mm to 523mm starting with a 25mm joist fixed directly to the concrete. The pedestals adjust to cover a range from 14mm to 320mm. This range of pedestal sizes combined with a joist or joist/bearer combination provides the perfect grid system to support a CleverDeck composite decking boards and allows you to build a deck across a range of heights from 62mm to 523mm. For higher decks, Futurewood recommend using re-blocking stumps instead of our pedestals.

The black powder coated joists and bearers use a range of innovative quick fix clips, brackets, and screws to fix together and create a level and stable surface to fix your decking to. They literally snap in place on the top plate of the pedestal, no screws required just a simple “click”! The special registered design of the aluminium profile and brackets allows for different fixing options that require only 1 screw per bracket/clip meaning that there is minimal labour required to connect the framing and produce a perfectly level and square deck subframe using straight lengths of lightweight aluminium.

The 14mm pedestals and the 25mm high joist have been designed to provide the perfect solution for ultralow deck requirements used together on concrete or tiled patios/balconies where there is insufficient height to use the  traditional stump, bearer, and joist construction. The combination of a 25mm joist with an adjustable pedestal creates a grid support system that is much lower than you can achieve using a stump/ LVL, pine or hardwood bearer/joist subframe.

The system enables you to build a deck where the height of the deck (including the decking material and the subframe) needs to be less than 100mm.
