a question?
Our landscaping experts have the answers
1. Aluminium or timber joists: which option should you choose?
Aluminium joists offer many advantages that wood does not. Aluminium has the following performance characteristics:
First and foremost: durability over time. Aluminium structures are rot-proof, which makes them much more durable than wood.
Our aluminium joists are treated against corrosion to withstand humidity and even the salty climate found near swimming pools or the seaside. This is not the case with wood.
Jouplast® aluminium decking joists are much lighter to transport and install. Each joist measures 2.4 m and weighs 2.32 kg. In general, a pine joist of the same dimensions weighs between 3.5 and 4 kg, depending on the type of wood and its moisture content. This means that when handling joists on a building site, wooden joists are heavier than aluminium joists. This poses musculoskeletal risks that should not be overlooked.
If you are looking for a durable, easy-to-maintain solution that offers great stability, aluminium joists are an excellent choice. However, if you prefer a more economical option and appreciate the natural aesthetics of wood for decking boards, wooden decking joists may be more suitable, provided you are prepared to carry out regular maintenance.
2. How many joists do you need for your terrace?
Although we can tell you the approximate number of joists you will need per m2 based on your choice of terrace surface, it is not possible to quantify the precise number of aluminium joists required, except on a project-by-project basis. Nevertheless, we can say with certainty that :
- For a private garden terrace using H/55mm joists, the recommended centreline spacing distance between riser pedestals is 80cm
- Using H/27mm joists, the recommended centreline spacing distance between riser pedestals is 50cm
Centreline spacing is the distance between joists. For a precise calculation, you can send us the details of your project, but you will soon be able to make the same calculation using the Jouplast® app.
3. How to ensure the durability of your aluminium joist terrace?
The durability of a terrace built using aluminium joists depends on a number of criteria :
- For maximum durability, we recommend preparing the ground correctly before beginning the project to ensure that the surface is level and stable enough to ensure a long life for the riser pedestal installation
- Build your terrace in accordance with our installation instructions and advice
- Lay the joists on Jouplast packers or riser pedestals to prevent rising damp
- Use joist protection tape, etc.
