We’ll work closely with you to provide the system that meets your exact needs, and will also make sure faculty, students and visitors are able to easily access your campuses.
The Aluminum Advantage
There are two main materials typically used to construct stairs – steel and aluminum. You may not think aluminum would stand the test of time as well as steel, but that’s not the case at all. Here are just a few of the advantages that aluminum provides.
- It resists corrosion – Unless steel is coated, it will rust and corrode over time. But aluminum has built-in, natural corrosion protection known as aluminum oxide. This means that it will not rust, even if it’s exposed to damp environments for days – or even weeks or months – on end.
- It’s malleable – We make our aluminum stairs in a way that avoids the need for mechanical joining of any kind. That helps ensure the stairs will remain safe and sturdy over the long run.
- It’s friendly to the environment – REDD Team aluminum stairs are sustainable. They’re so environmentally friendly, in fact, that they can help your school district qualify for LEED credits. The reason is our stairs meet stringent U.S. Green Building Council guidelines. Not only does aluminum cost less than steel, it also requires less energy to make it. In addition, aluminum can be recycled time and time again without losing its strength or any of the other features that make it a great material.
- It’s incredibly strong – If you can easily crush an aluminum soda can with one hand, how could it possibly be able to withstand the weight of many people? Aluminum is actually very strong, even though it’s lightweight.
- It’s much safer – Aluminum will not burn, even when subjected to extreme temperatures. In addition, it doesn’t emit any types of toxic fumes.
Why is REDD Team Aluminum So Strong?
The secret lies in the 6000 series aluminum alloys we use in all of our products. The 6061 alloy, in particular, is very strong, making a perfect substitute for steel. It gets its strength from heat treatment, and also dissipates heat in a very efficient fashion. No matter how scorching hot the sun may get, your stairs will continue to be cool to the touch.
We use 6000 series alloys in not only stairs, but also walkways, platforms, ramps and many others. These alloys are very inexpensive, helping ensure the affordability of your stairs. Since they’re so lightweight, they’re also inexpensive to ship. This can be a major benefit, helping you address your access needs without having to break your budget in the process.
