By Maria Price


Most homeowners are always looking for new ways to extend their homes to the outdoor environment. Some install awnings at the entrances of their homes so that they can enjoy the outdoor environment without being bothered by bad weather. Others settle for an underdecking system that provides them a recreational space where they can relax, socialize with friends, and do cookouts among other activities. Here are facts regarding aluminum underdecking.

A professionally finished look that creates beauty and value to the home is achieved by incorporating an underdeck system. Aluminum underdeck system is a beautiful material that adds to the value of a home when it is installed by an experienced, professional installer. When a home has an underdeck system that is made from aluminium, its value is improved a lot over those without underdeck system of any sort.

The area under the deck might receive limited or completely no sunlight. This creates moist conditions, which are favorable for growth of mold and mildew. Molds and mildew from the deck can spread to other areas in the home. As a result, a serious mold problem can occur in the home. Growth of mold and mildew can however blocked by installing an aluminum underdeck system.

A special gutter system is installed in aluminum underdecks to enable them to catch and route water that comes from rain. The underdeck has a gutter installed at one end where the water is collected and disposed safely through a downspout. As such, it is safe to stay under the deck even when it is raining heavily outdoors.

Gutter, downspouts, ceiling panels, support braces, and the trim are some of the components that constitute a typical underdeck system. The components are made from aluminum metal and are not subject to rusting even when they are exposed to oxygen and rainwater. Durability of the underdeck system is guaranteed because aluminum metal is resistant to rusting as opposed to ferrous metals.

When an installer is hired to install the system, they will start by taking the measurement of the deck to determine its size. Size helps in determining how many downspouts will be required in the system. If the area is less than 300 square feet, it means that one downspout will be enough to adequately drain water from rain. Any space that is bigger than 300 square feet will need more than one downspout depending on its size.

The underdeck is installed with adequate pitch to ensure that water is adequately drained down the duct. Incorporating adequate pitch also ensures that leaves and debris that fall on the underdeck are carried away without any problems. The ceiling panels are secured to the frame under it adequately to ensure that it is not carried away by storm or strong winds.

Aluminium underdeck systems are installed in ninety percent of all homes in the United States. This is according to research that has been done by manufacturers and other stakeholders in the industry. One of the reasons why people prefer these systems is because they have a green profile. These systems are mainly made from recycled aluminium metal. As such, the environment is kept cleaner and safer by the production of these products.
