At Australian Innovate, we offer two main options: steel frames and timber frames, each with its unique advantages to suit your preferences and project requirements.
Steel framing, known for its strength, durability, and termite resistance, provides a solid and secure frame for your deck. Steel frames are Structural tek screwed and bolted in place, eliminating issues such as cracked cornices and surface splitting often associated with frame movement. Moreover, steel framing is suitable for Longer spans and less footings to create open space below the deck, and is a preferred choice in cyclonic regions.
Steel frames are also environmentally friendly and energy-efficient. They require less maintenance and are fire-resistant, adding to the overall safety and longevity of your deck. Additionally, some steel framing options come with longer structural warranties, providing peace of mind for homeowners.
On the other hand, timber framing has a long-standing tradition in construction. Timber is a renewable resource that offers flexibility during construction, making it easy to adjust to last-minute changes in your project. It's also a natural insulator, providing some degree of thermal efficiency.
Moreover, timber frames are often quicker to build and more cost-effective, making them an attractive option for homeowners looking to keep their project within budget and on schedule.
Mezzanine decks are a fantastic way to extend the functionality of high-shed homes, providing a vantage point to overlook your front or backyard while maintaining easy access to your home.

Both options have their advantages, and at Australian Innovate, we are equipped to deliver a solution that perfectly aligns with your project's needs and your personal preferences.
