About Our Decking

The Excel decking system is a heavy gauge extruded aluminum product. Extrusions are made by forcing heated aluminum under hundreds of tons of pressure through a special custom made die. The resulting shapes can be quite intricate and follow close tolerances. Different alloys and tempers are available depending on the strength required.

Our decking is made from one of the strongest alloys available: 6005-T6. Testing by Trow Associates has shown that the 1" x 6" boards can sustain 1085 pounds per square foot on 24" centers! Before considering an aluminum deck board supplier, check the wall thickness of the product. The thinner the wall, the less they can sell it for.

Our Super-Durable exterior powder coat finish exceeds the highest AAMA 2605 specification. The AAMA 2605 specification includes chemical resistance, fading, gloss retention, 4000 hour salt spray and many other properties.

The chemicals in pressure treated lumber can be corrosive towards aluminum. Un-treated lumber is typically all you need when using Excel decking, since no moisture will come into contact with the joists. Feel secure when installing Excel decking knowing that it has passed the ASTM B117 salt fog spray test on the most corrosive ACQ pressure treatment formulation.

Excel decking has also been tested against common household spills such as ketchup, mustard and beer with no change after four weeks of exposure. Although we only recommend detergent and water to clean the decking, we've further proven it's durability by testing against harsher cleaners.
