How Our Stairs Get Their Strength
When you first think of aluminum, the first picture that comes to mind might be aluminum foil, or a soda can – something you could crush very easily with just one hand. But all REDD Team aluminum products contain special alloys that contain magnesium, silicon and other substances that provide incredible strength. In fact, their strength is comparable to that of steel.
These alloys not only make it easy for our products to support heavy loads, they also provide an extra layer of protection. You won’t have to worry about your stairs rusting or corroding, even during extended rainy periods. That’s simply not the case when it comes to steel. Also, wooden stairs can warp or lose their structural integrity when exposed to prolonged wet weather. Aluminum will never experience either of those issues.
During the hot summer days, aluminum will always keep its cool. The reason is that aluminum is an incredibly efficient thermal conductor. In fact, you won’t ever have to be hesitant to touch our products, even when the temperatures turn frigid.
Other Reasons to Always Use Aluminum Stairs
There are a lot of other benefits to choosing aluminum for not only your stairs, but also all other components of your accessibility system. These are just some of the many advantages aluminum provides.
- Corrosion resistance – Steel will rust over time, of course, and will also degrade – that is, unless it has an expensive coating. Aluminum has built-in protection against corrosion, courtesy of a layer of aluminum oxide that forms whenever it’s exposed to oxygen. Your stairs will continue to look great and provide durable support for years to come.
- Lightweight – Aluminum is about 30 percent of the weight of steel. As a result, you’ll easily be able to move your stairs should the need ever arise. You also won’t pay nearly as much as you would for steel stairs.
- Sustainability – All of our aluminum products have been recycled multiple times – that’s what makes this material so planet-friendly. Even though you can recycle aluminum time and time again, it will never lose its durability or strength.
- Malleability – REDD Team aluminum stairs don’t have any joints. Why is this important? It means that, unlike steel stairs, aluminum stairs won’t come loose over time. You basically just “set it and forget it,” because aluminum doesn’t require any maintenance.
- Safety – As you already learned, aluminum will remain safe to the touch regardless of the outside temperatures. It will also provide slip resistance, no matter how wet it may get. Wood and steel stairs, on the other hand, can often become slippery.
