Why use Eurotec EVO Aluminum Joists?
The Eurotec EVO aluminum deck joists are heavy duty aluminum, profiled for even greater strength. EVO aluminum joists are superior to traditional framing lumber in many ways:
- Perfectly straight
- Noncombustible
- Never warp, twist, or split
- Rot resistant
- Strong, but exceptionally lightweight
In the punishing environment of a rooftop deck, aluminum joists are the preferred material to meet weight requirements, fire resistance and higher performance needs. The aluminum joists are straight and true and create a fantastic frame for your decking.
Why use Eurotec Rooftop Deck Pedestals?
Eurotec Deck pedestals are so strong they can carry up to 1,798 pounds of weight per pedestal. The adjustable deck pedestals may be easily adjusted to a wide range of heights, so your deck is perfectly level. The large base of each pedestal helps distribute the weight of the deck over a larger area. This is very helpful in rooftop deck installations.
