Five reasons to choose Aluminium decking

An aluminium wood-look deck can be used as part of a garden landscape, to capturing a view, or for creating a comfortable outdoor space. Modern technology means aluminium decking has surpassed heat-diffusing qualities of classic timber, thus creating a decking solution that is cool to the touch, even in direct sunlight. This makes aluminium wood-like decking the perfect choice for places with hot summers like we experience in Australia. The material also stays perfectly dry underneath which makes it excellent for overhead decking to (more on this later).

At Knotwood we use a state-of-the art sublimination process to create wood-like aluminium, which is greener, safer, stronger, and easier to use than wood. There is no more spending countless hours sanding, staining, or oiling your deck. Additionally, each of our board lengths are perfectly straight meaning they will not rot, warp, or splinter. Unlike a traditional wooden deck which requires a lot of attention, you will only need to give our wood-like aluminium decks a sweeping or occasional mop. Aluminium also does not appeal to termites or other insects as it is made from metal not wood.

Knotwood’s decking boards are lightweight and easy to install, designed with a simple interlocking instalment. There are no adhesives or nails, instead we use a unique tongue and groove system. Fixings and screws are also concealed to leave a seamless wood finish.

Drip-free

Aluminium boards are far more versatile than wood, as they can be used to make drip-free and waterproof multi-level outdoor spaces. When boards are fitted together, the space underneath is airtight and waterproof, meaning there is a complete drip-free space underneath. While the deck boards appear as if they are made from a slatted design, the space between is a unique trough innovation that fits together to ensure water cannot get through. This means aluminium decking boards are an excellent solution for an air-conditioned room or even overhead balconies that will form the roof of a shaded patio or verandah below.

Whether you are building a deck for a heritage-style home or looking to build a modern dream house we have classic wood boards or boards with a modern metallic appearance. With the traditional look of wood, and our wide range of timber colours, you will easily find the perfect deck colour for your project at Knotwood.
