They turn to REDD Team because they know we will provide them with systems that are made to their exact specifications, and also stand the test of time.
There are many materials used to make stairs and ramps. The most popular ones are aluminum, steel, wood and masonry. But aluminum is far superior to these other choices – here is a brief look at just some of the reasons why this is the case.
- Ease of maintenance – When you install aluminum ramps and stairs, you can basically “set it and forget it.” One of the most important advantages of aluminum is that it basically needs no maintenance. Aluminum is naturally protected from rust or corrosion, thanks to its aluminum oxide coating. In order for wood and steel to stand up to the elements, they need to be treated or painted – and also have to be maintained on a regular basis.
- Thermal conductivity – That’s a fancy way of saying aluminum stays safe to the touch, unlike steel. People can grab the handrails with confidence, no matter how high the outside temperature may be. As a bonus, aluminum actually gains strength when the weather turns cold – and remains safe to touch no matter how frigid the temperatures get.
- Weight – Aluminum is just as strong as steel, but it’s nearly three times lighter. This quality makes it much less expensive to ship, and also makes it easy to install – the typical aluminum installation takes just a few minutes, compared to the hours it can take to install a steel system. If you ever need to move your ramps and stairs, it will be extremely easy to do so.
- Durability – Unlike steel, aluminum doesn’t require mechanical joining. That means there won’t be any joints that can weaken over time, and ultimately fail as a result. Years from now, your stairs and ramps will remain just as strong as they were the day they were first installed.
