CBS Constructors offers several different decking systems. All systems are available in numerous row rises and tread depths.
Decking systems use extruded aluminum planking available with either a 1 1/2″ or 1 3/4″ vertical height.
Slip Resistant Deck
All of CBS Constructors decking systems are available with a factory applied surface treatment that will increase the
slip resistance of mill finished aluminum to achieve a slip index (coefficient of friction) of 0.80 or higher in all directions of travel,
as measured by the Variable Incidence Tribometer (VIT), under both wet and dry conditions.
Welded Deck
CBS Constructors does not offer a welded deck system as welding reduces the strength of the tempered aluminum plank at the weldment,
reducing the overall load carrying capacity of the structure. Continual flexing of the planks adjacent to the weld increases
the probability of cracking due to repetitive loading in the weakened location.
Semi-Closed Decking System
This basic deck system utilizes aluminum extrusions, which are placed next to each other and securely fastened to the understructure to fill the footboard area, providing a solid walking surface. Aluminum riserboards are placed between the footboards and the seat to leave a gap under the seat that is code compliant and less than four inches. Aluminum extruded planks are placed at each vertical aisle creating a closed deck area at the aisles.
Closed Deck System
This closed deck system utilizes aluminum extrusions, which are placed next to each other and securely fastened to the understructure to provide a solid and completely closed walking surface, which will not allow any major debris to fall through the bleacher. Aluminum riserboards are placed between the footboards eliminating any large gaps between rows.
Tongue & Groove Decking System
This fully closed deck system joins the footboards and riserboards with a tongue-and-groove design for higher performance, providing the following added benefits:
- Reduced deflection
- Improved rigidity and overall aesthetics
Tongue & Groove NTB Decking System
This fully closed deck system joins the footboards and riserboards with a tongue-and-groove design for higher performance, providing the following added benefits:
- Reduced deflection
- Improved rigidity and overall aesthetics
- Ability to reconfigure seating layout in the future
Interlocking Gutter NTB Decking System
This fully closed deck system features continuously interlocked footboards for superior performance, providing
the following added benefits:
- Reduced deflection
- Improved rigidity and aesthetics
- Ability to reconfigure seating layout in the future
- Better control of fluids, such as rain and spilled beverages
