FORTRESS EVOLUTION STEEL DECK FRAMING & STAIR SYSTEM: A SOLID RETURN ON INVESTMENT
Fortress’ Evolution steel deck framing and stair system will sideline issues commonly associated with moisture absorption, one of the most common reasons for lumber decomposition in traditional deck framing systems. In fact, it’s resistant to most tangible threats, including rot and decay, fungi, pests (such as termites) and the effects of weathering. In application, this means light-gauge steel frame profiles will remain straight and true over time. This makes for an uncompromising, dimensionally stable deck framing solution that keeps surface boards flat and smooth underfoot. Moreover, the system’s commercial-grade strength and smart interlocking joist and ledger system ensures a structurally sound deck system that will last 25 years or more.
To sidestep uncertainties around lumber, homeowners can look to Evolution steel deck framing and stair system. The comprehensive framing package comes with everything needed to install a basic deck frame (including fasteners). Much like wood at a hardware store, the total system contains many beam and joist length choices and installs similarly to lumber. Plus, this ready-to-assemble system is compatible with any type or brand of surface board, so you can enjoy a finished outdoor living space that reflects your personal style.
