Proframe Aluminium Deck Framing
Description

The Proframe deck system provides easy-to-build low-level deck support for use with traditional timber decking, composite decking, and structural tiles over membrane and concrete substrates. 

The system includes Proframe powdercoated aluminium joists/bearers which can be supported on adjustable height Projack deck jacks:

  • Extruded aluminium joist and bearer manufactured from 6063 T5 powdercoated aluminium: 70x45mm in 3 standard lengths (3.6m, 4.8m, 6.0m)
  • Extruded aluminium deck and tile trim manufactured from 6063 T5 powdercoated aluminium (43 x 43mm)
  • Projack support feet manufactured from polypropylene (125 x125mm): 5 sizes — can be stacked in any combination to make any height from 5mm to 300mm
  • Joist connectors and connector fasteners in 304 grade stainless steel with black coating: right angle connector and straight connector
Key Features
  • Lightweight, high-span, powdercoated aluminium joist and bearer system — provide twice the span, using half the height of traditional timber and requiring fewer jacks to support the frame
  • Projacks come in 5 sizes that can be stacked in any combination to make any height, from 5mm to 300mm
  • Durable — extremely stable and unlike timber won't rot, warp, or bow
  • Simplest system on the market — connects just using just two brackets; right angle and a straight connector
  • Cost effective, one size fits all system — the right fit every time without expensive prefabrication
  • Up to 75% faster to install than a traditional timber furring, especially where substrates have multiple falls
