Stage deck materials directly influence an event’s safety, functionality, and cost-efficiency. Here are the most prevalent options tailored to diverse needs.
Plywood is a cost-effective classic, with 18-24mm hardwood plywood (birch/maple) supporting up to 750kg/m². Lightweight (25kg per 1m×1m panel) and modular, it works for temporary indoor/outdoor events when treated with water-resistant coatings.
Aluminum alloys (e.g., 6061-T6) stand out for professional use. Weighing just 15-20kg per panel, they bear over 1000kg/m², resist corrosion, and last 10+ years—ideal for large-scale or outdoor events despite a higher upfront cost.
Engineered woods like OSB and MDF suit budget indoor needs. OSB (600kg/m² load) is affordable but moisture-sensitive; MDF offers a smooth, paintable surface but swells when wet.
Specialized composites such as FRP excel in wet or electrical environments, with 800-1000kg/m² load capacity and non-conductive properties, though they are costly and less accessible.
Choose plywood for balance, aluminum for professionalism, engineered woods for budget indoor use, and composites for niche demands—prioritizing event type, load, and portability.
