Strength and Durability
We make all of our products out of aluminum. On the surface, you might think there’s no way aluminum stairs could support a person’s weight. But when you compare the strength of our aluminum versus steel, you’ll find there’s no difference.
How is this possible? The secret behind the strength of our aluminum lies in the alloys – 6000 series alloys, to be specific – that we use to treat REDD Team aluminum. These alloys contain materials, such as magnesium and silicon, that make them extremely strong. But strength isn’t the only feature these alloys make possible. Our aluminum accessibility system products won’t corrode like steel, no matter how much rain hits them.
Also, unlike steel, aluminum won’t be dangerous to touch when the weather turns extremely hot or extremely cold. Aluminum has a level of thermal conductivity that you won’t find with steel. As a result, our stairs, handrails and all other components will always be safe.
Other Ways Aluminum Beats Steel
Strength and thermal conductivity are obviously important, but they just scratch the surface of the many reasons you should always consider aluminum rather than steel. Here are a few more.
- Corrosion resistance – Aluminum already has a natural protection against corrosion. Our alloys merely enhance that quality. Your stairs will look like new for years, which won’t be the case if you purchase steel stairs. Unless coated with very costly substances, steel will eventually rust and fail.
- Cost – Even though aluminum is incredibly strong, it’s also incredibly lightweight. Steel weighs three times as much. Since aluminum is so light, that makes it a lot less expensive.
- Environmentally safe – Aluminum, as you know, is recyclable. What you might not know is that it can be recycled multiple times and not lose any strength. REDD Team aluminum complies with guidelines set by the U.S. Green Building Council, and may also help your school district qualify for LEED credits.
- Ease of installation – You can install your REDD Team stairs in minutes because they don’t require any field welding. Also, aluminum doesn’t require mechanical joining of any kind. Why should you care? Well, because aluminum stairs don’t have joints that can loosen over time. Steel stairs do have joints, and that could eventually cause a major safety hazard.
