Aluminum waterproof decking that outlasts any other material.
Craft-Bilt's revolutionary aluminum
locking seal and continuous gutter
technology provides a gapless floor
decking and roof covering with single layer construction – absolutely watertight underneath with no additional plywood or membranes required. The deck boards lock together under pressure to form a waterproof joint. In the unlikely event that any moisture gets past the pressure lock, there is an integral gutter in each deck board to carry it away.
Our heavy duty powder coat finish has an imbedded crumble for unmatched non-skid performance. Seeing is believing, ask for a sample when you contact us.
Craft-Bilt decking is available in two colours, Desert Sand, and Grey. Desert Sand is the perfect match for our Desert Sand railing. The Grey colour compliments any architectural decor, and for wood fans, it mimics the look of weathered cedar.
Get the benefits not found in any of the wood or composite decking products:
- Eliminates painting, staining and waterproofing.
- No splintering, cracking, fading, rotting or warping
- No nail/screw popping, hidden fasteners
- It can't burn or tear like membranes, won't degrade from UV like plastics and composites
- Non-combustible: aluminum will not igite or burn, it doesn't melt until 1,220° F (660° C)
- Excellent thermal conductor, it's cool to the touch and won't hold heat like other materials
- It's Green: aluminum can be recycled indefinitely
- It's truly non-skid, the safe choice for your friends and family
- It will outlast any wood, membrane or plastic based product
- Waterproof: create living space below your deck and ensure that the support structure will be protected from the elements, virtually eliminating any chance of rot, mildew or decay
Residential
Put on the last deck you'll ever own! No more painting, staining, sealing, knot holes, splinters or decay. If you've been a homeowner for any amount of time, you'll appreciate the true meaning of "maintenance-free". Your deck will look new for years to come.
Commercial
Convert almost any commercial rooftop into a useable area. Create an entertainment area, or a communal area for residents. Install it on sleepers and forget about it. Light-weight aluminum is ideal for this task since it will not add appreciable weight to the roof structure and it may help to extend the life of your existing commercial roof membrane.
Marine
Our non-skid finish is especially useful in a marine application. Protect yourself and your guests from slips and falls. Eliminate those yearly board replacements with Craft-Bilt maintenance-free aluminum decking. Our decking is found on:
• Docks
• Boat Decks
• Boat Houses
• Marinas
The Craft-Bilt decking system is a heavy gauge extruded aluminum product. Extrusions are made by forcing heated aluminum under hundreds of tons of pressure through a special custom made die. The resulting shapes can be quite intricate and follow close tolerances. Different alloys and tempers are available depending on the strength required.
Our decking is made from one of the strongest alloys available: 6005-T6. Testing by Trow Associates has shown that the 1" x 6" boards can sustain 1085 pounds per square foot on 24" centers! Before considering an aluminum deck board supplier, check the wall thickness of the product. The thinner the wall, the less they can sell it for.
Our Super-Durable exterior powder coat finish exceeds the highest AAMA 2605 specification. The AAMA 2605 specification includes chemical resistance, fading, gloss retention, 4000 hour salt spray and many other properties.
The chemicals in pressure treated lumber can be corrosive towards aluminum. Un-treated lumber is typically all you need when using Craft-Bilt decking, since no moisture will come into contact with the joists. Feel secure when installing Craft-Bilt decking knowing that it has passed the ASTM B117 salt fog spray test on the most corrosive ACQ pressure treatment formulation.

Craft-Bilt decking has also been tested against common household spills such as ketchup, mustard and beer with no change after four weeks of exposure. Although we only recommend detergent and water to clean the decking, we've further proven it's durability by testing against harsher cleaners. Refer to the documents in the resources area for more information. |
