A durable and versatile system
A terrace for life!
The STRUCTURAL® system gives you a rot-proof structure that resists moisture and mould, for an incomparable lifespan.
Aluminium joists are suitable for all types of environments and conditions. Unlike wooden structures, aluminium joists are not subject to deformation or quality decline.
As lightweight, high-performance load-bearing elements, STRUCTURAL joists are perfectly suited to the design of elevated structures on adjustable pedestals or foundation screws. STRUCTURAL can be laid on any type of soil, whether hard, stabilised, loose or waterproof.
Its modularity means it can be used to meet a wide range of requirements, from installing composite or wooden deck boards to laying porcelain stoneware slabs.

Structural® accessories on 40x60 mm joists
All STRUCTURAL® accessories can be applied to the different joist sections in the concept: 40x60, 80 x 60 or 120 x 60 mm.
The sleeve and these brackets allow a huge number of combinations between joists to create many terrace structures to meet any constraints or inspirations.
The purpose of the terrace, the expected loads, the type of soil, the slope to be covered or the elevation of the structure will define which joist section(s) to choose and how to assemble them.
Structural® accessories on joists 80x60 mm
Structure recommended for heavier loads and heavy stresses.
Structural® accessories on joists 120x60 mm
Structure recommended for installation on foundation screws or for extreme loads
