What Is Steel Deck Framing?

The Colorspan Exterior Flooring System provides a rock-solid foundation to your outdoor room. This advanced structural floor framing system delivers the ultimate strength and durability of Colorbond steel underneath the surface.

It serves as a highly resilient alternative to traditional timber subframes, creating a secure base that easily supports a variety of premium cladding choices.

Why Choose the Colorspan Exterior Flooring System?

A standard timber subframe remains vulnerable to rot, termites, and severe bushfire threats. Upgrading to a steel-framed deck ensures long-term durability and drastically reduces the maintenance associated with traditional timber.

Homeowners choose this robust structural solution because it:

  • Provides design flexibility to be installed for all shaped areas.
  • Delivers long term durability while removing the intensive maintenance associated with timber.
  • Enhances aesthetic appeal through a reduction in piers and utilises colour coded framing to match your home.
  • Addresses the significant Bushfire risks posed by the local Australian bush landscape.

Customise Your Steel Deck Finish

The steel piers and steel framing can be clad in the material of your choice to suit specific architectural styles and compliance needs.
  • Timber Decking

    Combine the system with timber decking to maintain the aesthetic appeal of timber, while relying on the strength and durability of Colorbond steel underneath.

  • Aluminium Decking

    Achieve compliance with the highest bushfire zoning BAL-FZ by lining the floor system with fire-resistant aluminium decking.

  • Tiled Decking

    Install compressed sheeting finished with tiles for a highly durable, BAL-FZ compliant surface.

Build a Rock-Solid Deck Without the Hassle

Planning a durable outdoor living area often brings unexpected stress, especially when navigating strict bushfire regulations. Finding compliant materials, engineering a subframe for a uniquely shaped block, and managing different tradesmen quickly turns a home upgrade into an overwhelming project.

A poorly constructed timber subframe easily leads to structural sagging, termite damage, and frustrating council rejections. Our fully managed Turnkey Build Execution eliminates these headaches completely.

Expert designers incorporate the Colorspan Exterior Flooring System directly into the structural plans to provide the strongest solution. This proactive engineering ensures the deck achieves maximum strength and strict BAL-FZ compliance where necessary.
Enjoy absolute peace of mind while a dedicated team handles every aspect of the build, from the initial site assessment to the final council sign-off.
