The Best Decking for Every Climate

When it comes to creating the perfect outdoor living space, your decking choice matters. Beyond looks and style, your deck has to stand up to the elements—whether it’s pounding rain, heavy snow, blazing heat, or even fire risk. While wood and composite decks may struggle to keep up in extreme conditions, Aristocrat’s Aluminum Decking is engineered to perform beautifully in every climate. Here’s why aluminum is the smart choice for homeowners across the country.

Waterproof* and Corrosion-Resistant
Moisture is one of the biggest threats to traditional decking. Wood swells, rots, and grows mold. Composite may resist some damage, but mold and mildew can still take hold. Aluminum decking is watertight; it will not absorb moisture, and it is finished with a corrosion-resistant coating. Even in wet climates, your deck will remain solid, attractive, and maintenance-free.

Built to Withstand Snow and Ice
Snowy winters put tremendous stress on outdoor structures. Wood and composite decks can sag, crack, or weaken under heavy snow loads. Aluminum, on the other hand, is incredibly strong and won’t become brittle in freezing conditions. Plus, aluminum naturally sheds heat more efficiently than other materials, helping snow and ice melt faster and reducing slippery buildup.

Cool and Comfortable in Summer Heat
High heat and strong UV rays can cause wood to fade, splinter, and warp—and many composites absorb so much heat they become too hot to walk on. Aluminum decking stays cool to the touch, even under direct sunlight, thanks to its heat-dissipating properties. It also resists fading and warping, so it will look great season after season.

Low Maintenance and Long-Lasting
Forget the sanding, staining, and sealing that wood decks demand. Aluminum decking requires little more than an occasional rinse with mild soap and water. With a lifespan far beyond wood and composite alternatives, aluminum decking offers excellent value and long-term peace of mind.

Noncombustible for Added Safety
For homeowners in wildfire-prone areas, choosing non-combustible materials is a must. Aluminum decking won’t ignite or spread flames, adding an extra layer of safety to your outdoor living space.

The All-Weather Decking Solution
Wherever you live, aluminum decking delivers unmatched durability, safety, and comfort. Unlike wood and composite, it’s designed to thrive in every environment—wet, snowy, hot, or dry. With Aristocrat’s Aluminum Decking, you get a beautiful, low-maintenance deck that’s built to last for decades.
