Aluminum Decking Maximizing Strength And Versatility

Versadry™ aluminum decking is a unique two piece system consisting of the R-40 or the C-60 aluminum plank extrusion combined with the Dry Clip extrusion. The design is strong, watertight and has several advantages. Quick and easy to install, Versadry™ waterproof aluminum flooring is ideal for a variety of outdoor watertight deck applications.

A Dry Space Shelter Below Without The Puddles Above

Versadry™ waterproof aluminum decking is unlike other waterproof aluminum systems that lock together creating a continuous dry seal at the very top requiring water to flow off the deck edges. Although the majority of the water may run off during a heavy rain, much is left on the deck surface in the form of large puddles. These puddles can take days to dry up. The Versadry™ watertight system allows the water to run into the dry clip channels first allowing the deck surface to drain and dry quickly. The water then flows through these channels and off the deck rim edge into a gutter. Versadry™ eliminates the need to squeegee water off the deck every time it rains. No need to squeegee means low maintenance and a safer slip resistant deck surface with an under deck dry space shelter below.

Aluminum Decking Water Flow And Drainage Control

The Versadry™ two piece waterproof aluminum decking system creates drainage and water flow options. The water can be directed to flow to the end of the deck or into gutters that can be located anywhere midway throughout the deck area. The midway gutter can be installed anywhere between two joists by simply stopping and starting the Dry Clip channel leaving a two inch gap for the water to drop through. The water can then drop into a gutter that can be installed to the bottom of the decking running parallel between the joists. You can also omit the Dry Clip altogether in an area where the deck does not need to be waterproof. These options can all be performed with out splicing the planks. The result is a continuous constant plank look from above with a roof deck dry space below with the water draining to a specific location.

Easy Waterproof Aluminum Decking Attachment To Wall

The Versadry™ Dry Clip can be flipped into a vertical position and connected to the side of a plank. It is hooked on and forced into a 90 degree angle. This creates three pressure points that make the waterproof seal. The top of the Dry Clip is then screwed into the wall and covered with self adhering rubber tape flashing and then overlapped with siding.

Plank To Plank Aluminum Decking Attachment

The Versadry™ Dry Clip Extrusion creates a seal and fastens the decking to the structure. The first plank to install should be the one that connects to the building wall. A Dry Clip channel is installed on the plank leg in a vertical position and then another is installed on the other plank leg. The plank is then set in place and fastened to the wall and supporting structure. A Dry Clip is then connected to the second plank and then set and hooked into the previously installed Dry Clip channel. The rest of the decking is installed the same up until the last plank to be installed.

Finish Plank Aluminum Decking Attachment

The final plank to be installed may fit perfectly without it needing to be rip cut to fit. In this case a finish nail or a screw can be installed through the outer plank leg into the structure. If the last plank needs to be rip cut to line up with the outer deck rim; install a filler block and cap the end off with the angle edge trim for a finished look.

Aluminum Decking Is Light, Strong And Safer To Install

Compared to most wood and composite decking, Versadry™ aluminum decking is 3 to 4 times lighter yet 2 to 3 times stronger. There is less structure needed so heavy labor is minimized making installation easier and safer. Versadry™ can be cut with the same saws used to cut wood. There is no need for special saws with metal cutting blades.

Extruded Aluminum Decking For Consistent Results

Versadry™ aluminum decking is always straight and consistent in width unlike most wood and many composite products. Versadry™ decking won't twist, shrink or warp. The shape and colors are always uniform so there is no need to pick and sort through the planks to strategically place them as with most wood and composite products. The final installed look is virtually flawless resulting in a pleasing constant clean look.
