Why TreadTech?
TreadTech by UNEX is a lightweight, non-combustible subframe system designed to replace traditional timber joists and bearers. It's particularly well-suited to coastal, wet, or exposed environments where durability is critical. With aluminium components that won’t rot, warp, or corrode, TreadTech creates a stable and low-maintenance foundation for modern decking materials.
Key benefits include:
Fast, easy installation with pre-engineered connectors
Adjustable pedestal system for precise levelling
Rust-free, rot-resistant aluminium
Fully compliant with the NZ Building Code
Ideal for new builds, renovations, and multi-residential projects
Mid Grey, Maximum Impact
To complete the build, BiForm Form130 composite decking in Mid Grey was chosen — a perfect match for the sleek TreadTech frame. The neutral colour adds a sophisticated finish that works beautifully with modern architecture and native landscaping, while the composite material offers a long-lasting, low-maintenance surface that resists moisture and fading.
From Frame to Finish
This project is a perfect example of how pairing TreadTech with quality composite decking offers both visual appeal and structural integrity. With adjustable pedestals, the entire system is raised for ventilation and easy drainage, supporting a level deck surface that performs over time.
Whether you’re a homeowner planning a deck upgrade or a builder looking for faster installs and fewer callbacks, TreadTech delivers on both performance and presentation.
