As a result, we deliver factory-direct pricing, consistent profile quality, and fast delivery. Similarly, this applies to all your commercial, industrial, and infrastructure projects.

In addition, we produce three types of metal decking: composite floor deck, roof deck, and form deck. Meanwhile, we comply with ANSI/SDI C1.0, ANSI/SDI RD-2017, and ASTM A653 standards. Therefore, structural engineers and steel fabricators rely on them for floor and roof construction worldwide.

Composite, Roof & Form Steel Deck — Product Types & Applications

To begin with, we manufacture three distinct types of steel deck. Specifically, each type serves a different structural function.

Furthermore, the ANSI/SDI C1.0 standard governs the materials, design, and erection of cold-formed steel deck that acts as a permanent form and as positive reinforcement for a structural concrete slab[reference:0]. Moreover, the ANSI/SDI RD-2017 standard specifies the materials, design, and erection of cold-formed steel deck used for roof applications[reference:1].

Technical Specifications of Steel Deck

To begin with, we manufacture our steel deck in a range of profiles and thicknesses. Specifically, the table below summarizes the standard product range.

Material & Coating Specifications for Metal Decking

• To begin with, we use ASTM A653/A653M hot-dip galvanized steel sheet as the standard base material[reference:2]. This ensures reliable corrosion protection for our metal decking.
• Moreover, we offer zinc coating weights of G30 (Z90), G60 (Z180), and G90 (Z275). The G60 and G90 coatings provide superior corrosion resistance for outdoor and humid environments.
• Additionally, we produce deck profiles with 33 ksi (230 MPa) minimum yield strength as standard. We also supply 40 ksi and 50 ksi grades for higher load requirements.
• Furthermore, our composite floor deck profiles meet the ANSI/SDI C1.0 requirement that uncoated thickness shall not be less than 95% of the design thickness[reference:3].
• For special orders, we supply ASTM A1008 uncoated or painted steel sheet for interior applications.
• Finally, we offer OEM & ODM — we customize profile depth, cover width, material thickness, zinc coating, and length according to your project drawings.

Composite Floor Deck — Permanent Form & Positive Reinforcement

In fact, composite floor deck is the most widely used type of steel deck in multi-story construction. Furthermore, it acts as both a permanent form for the concrete slab and as positive reinforcement once the concrete cures.

To begin with, the deck panels are laid across steel beams. Meanwhile, shear studs are welded through the deck to the beams. Then, concrete is poured on top. Consequently, the concrete and steel deck act together as a composite slab, carrying floor loads efficiently.

Key Features of Our Composite Floor Deck

• First, our composite deck features embossed ribs and indentations. These improve the mechanical bond between the steel deck and the concrete.
• Second, we offer 2″ (51 mm), 2.5″ (64 mm), and 3″ (76 mm) profile depths. Deeper profiles increase the slab’s load capacity.
• Third, our deck accepts headed shear studs for composite beam design. The studs transfer shear between the steel beam and the concrete slab.
• Finally, we comply with the minimum temperature and shrinkage reinforcement requirements of ANSI/SDI C1.0. This includes a minimum area of 0.00075 times the concrete area above the deck[reference:4].

Roof Deck — Structural Steel Roof Substrate

In addition, our roof deck provides a structural substrate for commercial and industrial roofing systems. Furthermore, it supports roof insulation, waterproofing membranes, and mechanical equipment.

To begin with, the deck panels are fastened to steel purlins or beams. Meanwhile, the ribs provide stiffness and load-carrying capacity. Therefore, the deck spans between supports and carries wind uplift, snow, and maintenance loads.

Key Features of Our Roof Deck

• First, our roof deck meets ANSI/SDI RD-2017 requirements for materials, design, and erection[reference:5].
• Second, we offer 1.5″ (38 mm), 2″ (51 mm), and 3″ (76 mm) profile depths for different span and load requirements.
• Third, our deck is available with G60 and G90 zinc coatings for long-term corrosion protection.
• Finally, we supply acoustic roof deck profiles with perforated webs for sound absorption applications.

Form Deck — Non-Composite Permanent Formwork for Concrete Slabs

Moreover, our form deck is a certified non-composite metal deck. Specifically, it serves as an economical permanent form for supporting concrete slabs during floor construction[reference:6].

To begin with, the deck is placed between supports and acts as a stay-in-place form. Meanwhile, it holds the wet concrete in place while it cures. Consequently, it eliminates the need for temporary wood forming[reference:7].

Key Features of Our Form Deck

• First, our form deck does not interlock with the concrete to form a structural composite system. This limits span distances compared to composite deck[reference:8].
• Second, we offer 9/16″ (14 mm), 1.5″ (38 mm), and 2″ (51 mm) profile depths.
• Third, our form deck is ideal for stairways, foundations, and shallow mezzanines[reference:9].
• Finally, it eliminates the time and cost of wood forming, accelerating your construction schedule.

How to Install Steel Deck & Metal Decking

1. First, prepare the steel frame. Ensure beams and purlins are properly aligned and ready to receive the deck.
2. Then, place the deck panels. Position the panels across the supports in the specified direction and sequence.
3. Next, fasten the deck. Use arc spot welds or self-drilling fasteners to attach the deck to the steel supports. Follow SDI requirements for weld size and spacing.
4. After that, connect adjacent panels. Use side-lap fasteners or welds to join the panels together.
5. Finally, install shear studs (composite deck). Weld headed shear studs through the deck to the steel beams per AWS D1.1.
