The Benefits of New Castle Steel Deck Framing: A Game-Changer in Deck Building

Jun 24

Steel deck framing is a game-changer in the deck-building industry. It offers exceptional features like a sturdier foundation, better protection against the elements and potential hazards, and a significantly higher fire safety rating than wood. New Castle Steel is committed to meeting the highest standards, and as part of our development process, we invest in third-party testing. We are proud to have certifications for our products in America and Canada, assuring builders and homeowners that our products meet code standards. Let's explore these benefits in detail.

When it comes to durability, New Castle Steel deck framing is in a league of its own. It's about more than just withstanding extreme weather conditions as they happen; it's about maintaining structural integrity for years to come. This long-term benefit lowers the risk of accidents due to weakened or degraded materials, making it a cost-effective and reliable choice.

Another standout feature of steel deck framing is its natural fire resistance. Unlike wood, which can be a fire hazard, steel provides an extra layer of safety for your outdoor living space. New Castle Steel framing has achieved a Class A fire rating, the highest rating possible for building materials. This safety feature is designed to give you peace of mind, allowing you to fully enjoy your deck without worrying about fire hazards.

An important aspect to consider is resistance to pests and mold. Depending on your location, termites, carpenter ants, and other wood-destroying insects can cause structural damage and make your outdoor space look less appealing. Wood is also prone to mold and mildew growth, which can create slippery and dangerous conditions on the deck surface. New Castle Steel framing eliminates these concerns by being unattractive to pests and resistant to mold and mildew, making your deck safer for your family and guests.

New Castle Steel deck framing is engineered to your exact specifications, ensuring a level and uniform deck surface that minimizes tripping hazards. This precision also allows for greater flexibility in the design and construction of your deck, meaning you can create a space that matches your vision without compromising safety.

New Castle Steel is proud to be made in America, under the strict quality control standards imposed on domestic steel production. Made from high-quality raw materials using well-regulated manufacturing processes, New Castle Steel products are more reliable, durable, and less prone to defects. Our additional rigorous testing and inspection procedures ensure compliance with safety standards.
