The REDD Team Difference

We’ve provided stairs to school districts, as well as clients in a wide range of other industries, across the country.

Comparing Aluminum With Other Materials
Stairs typically come in one of four materials – steel, concrete, wood or aluminum. When you look at all of the advantages of aluminum, you’ll quickly realize that it’s really not even a fair fight. If you’re at all concerned that aluminum can’t hold up, don’t be. We treat all of our products with 6000 series alloys that make them just as strong – if not stronger – than steel.
Here’s a quick look at just some of the many advantages of using aluminum instead of any other material.
- Weight – Aluminum is incredibly light – about three times lighter than steel. As a result, you’ll easily be able to move your stairs anywhere on campus should the need ever arise. But just because aluminum is light, that doesn’t mean it can’t handle heavy loads. Our stairs can support more than 1,600 pounds.
- Appearance – You won’t ever have to worry about aluminum ever turning ugly because of rust. The reason is that aluminum has a protective coating against corrosion, known as aluminum oxide. They can also be coated in many different colors if you like.
- Safety – Aluminum is a fantastic material for thermal conductivity. That’s basically just a fancy way of saying it will always be safe to touch no matter what the outside temperature may be. Steel, on the other hand, can deliver a painful burn when touched on a particularly hot day.
- Maintenance-free – You have to treat wood stairs on a regular basis – especially in a rainy climate like you’ll find in Miami. If you don’t, they will rot or split – causing a potentially dangerous situation. That’s not a concern with aluminum. It will always drain perfectly, no matter how much rain may by coming down.
- Sustainable – One of the greatest characteristics of aluminum is that it can be recycled time and time again without losing its strength or durability. You might be surprised to know that more than 75 percent of the aluminum ever produced is still being used.
