The substructure your TimberTech deck deserves
TimberTech Aluminum Framing gives you the long-lasting benefits you expect and outperforms other framing materials.
Built to last
Engineered for superior performance, our framing is highly resistant to moisture damage like rust, corrosion, or mold. We confidently offer a Lifetime Limited Warranty on all major components and warrant fasteners and accessories for 25 years.*
Fire Resistant
Fire resistance is crucial, especially in wildfire-prone areas. TimberTech Aluminum Framing comes with a Class A Flame Spread Rating, the highest available. This means that it is unlikely to contribute to aggressive flame spread.
Easy to install
Aluminum Framing results in an extremely flat surface that will look great for the life of your deck. Advancements like TimberTech’s smart design boosts productivity by using fewer fasteners and needing less on-site fabrication.
Strong
The strength of a TimberTech 2×8 aluminum joist is similar to the strength of a 2×12 wood joist, opening up your design to longer spans, fewer posts, and cantilevered overhangs.
Code Compliant
TimberTech Aluminum Framing has been rigorously tested and meets the requirements of the International Residential Code (IRC).
Sustainable
Wood is a single use product. Aluminum is made from recycled aluminum and can be recycled at the end of the project.
