Aluminium Joist System for Deck Framing
Clickdeck aluminium joists provide a modern, high-performance alternative to traditional timber deck framing. Engineered for strength, precision, and long-term durability, the Clickdeck aluminium joist system delivers straighter builds, faster installation, and fewer long-term maintenance issues.
Unlike timber, aluminium joists do not warp, twist, rot, or shrink over time. This makes them ideal for raised decks, low-clearance installations, and long-span deck framing where accuracy and reliability are critical.
Why Use Aluminium Joists for Decking?
- Stronger and straighter than timber framing
- No warping, twisting, or moisture movement
- Ideal for raised decks and long-span designs
- Faster, cleaner installation for builders and DIY
- Built for Australian outdoor conditions
Aluminium Joist Sizes & Profiles
The Clickdeck system offers multiple aluminium joist profiles to suit different deck heights, spans, and load requirements:
- Profile 28 – Low-clearance decks, balconies, tight spaces
- Profile 55 – Standard residential deck framing
- Profile 110 – Raised decks and longer spans
- Profile 150 – Large decks and long-span framing
- Profile 200 – Commercial and high-load deck structures
Which Aluminium Joist Do I Need?
Choosing the correct aluminium joist depends on deck height, span, and load requirements. Smaller profiles suit low-clearance applications, while larger multi-beam profiles are designed for long spans and heavier loads. Each Clickdeck profile is engineered to work seamlessly with Clickdeck pedestals and framing accessories.
Aluminium Joist vs Timber Joist
Compared to timber joists, aluminium joists offer superior durability, consistency, and structural reliability. Builders choose aluminium framing to avoid callbacks caused by timber movement, shrinkage, and rot. Aluminium joists also provide cleaner finishes and more accurate deck construction.
