Wood ramp (residential)

The advantages of treated wood are its lower purchase cost compared to aluminum, steel or concrete; its warm, natural finish that blends with the existing surroundings; and the option to be painted or stained to match the home.

The main drawbacks are its limited lifespan (10 to 15 years); the fact that it becomes very slippery when wet, icy or snowy; and its zero value at end of life since it is neither reusable nor recyclable, which fills up landfills.

Yes, absolutely. We offer solutions combining the warmth and beauty of wood for the floor and guardrails, with our adjustable aluminum leg system to protect the structure from damp ground.

Treated wood suits tight budgets or temporary needs requiring a warm look. Aluminum remains the best long-term choice: although pricier upfront, it pays for itself in 5 to 7 years (savings on staining, zero maintenance) and offers a safe investment thanks to its high resale value.
