Metal Floor Deck Profiles

List of different Metal Floor Deck Profiles

Posted on Tuesday, September 24, 2024

  1. Composite Metal Deck
    • Composite Decking
      Composite Metal Decking is designed to bond with concrete, creating a high-strength floor system in multi-story buildings. These decks have ribs with embossed patterns that allow the concrete to bond effectively, forming a composite action that increases the floor's load-bearing capacity. This profile is commonly used in commercial and industrial buildings.
    • 3-inch Composite Deck
      The 3-inch Composite Deck offers a deep profile, making it ideal for thicker concrete slabs in heavy-duty floor systems. It is typically used in applications where maximum strength is required, such as in high-rise buildings or large industrial facilities.
    • 2-inch Composite Deck
      The 2-inch Composite Deck is a medium-depth profile used for moderate to heavy load applications. Its versatile design allows it to be used in both commercial and residential buildings, offering a balance of strength and economy.
  2. Non-Composite Metal Deck
    • Form Deck
      Form Deck is primarily used as a stay-in-place form for concrete slabs, providing a permanent formwork that also supports the wet concrete during construction. It is often used in floors where the concrete itself provides the main structural strength.
    • 1.5-inch Form Deck
      The 1.5-inch Form Deck is a light-gauge option, ideal for short spans and applications where the slab thickness is minimal. It is commonly used in small commercial or residential projects where weight and cost are critical factors.
    • 3-inch Form Deck
      The 3-inch Form Deck is suitable for larger spans and thicker slabs. This deeper profile allows for greater load-bearing capacity, making it a common choice for larger commercial buildings and industrial floors.
  3. B Deck
    • Type B Deck
      Type B Deck is one of the most widely used metal deck profiles for roof and floor systems. It features wide ribs that provide excellent structural support, making it suitable for roofs and floors in both commercial and industrial settings. Its versatility and strength make it a go-to option for builders looking for reliable performance.
    • Type N Deck
      Type N Deck has deeper ribs than B Deck, allowing it to span longer distances between supports. This profile is commonly used in heavy-duty industrial applications where large spans and significant load-bearing are required.
  4. Cellular Decking
    • Cellular Floor Deck
      Cellular Floor Decking consists of a traditional deck profile with an additional flat sheet attached underneath to create a cellular structure. This design provides the strength of a metal deck while creating a space for electrical and mechanical systems within the floor, making it ideal for multi-story office buildings and commercial structures.
