Corrugated metal decking may be used as concrete floor forms.

Use as a structural support for lightweight insulating fills or as a form for reinforced concrete slabs. The decking rests over the structural steel floor beams network which is erected using suitable means. Corrugated metal decking may be used as concrete floor forms t f. A n diameter weld is used to attach steel decking to supporting members.

Concrete is generally poured over composite floor deck panels to form the floor structure. We can custom roll form floor decking for high load bearing floors. Corrugated metal floor decks are used to build floors with a heavy load bearing capacity. Galvanized steel decking is ideal for a variety of projects including metal roofing metal fencing and more.

It is used to support concrete or insulating membrane of a roof. Composite floor decks are mostly used to create a composite. The structural steel member installed at the perimeter of the composite deck to form an edge for the concrete is a 4 x 4 x 3 8 thick steel edge angle t f 5 8. Corrugated patterns provide surface area for concrete to bind to while adding structural integrity.

This decking not only acts as permanent formwork to the concrete but also provides sufficient shear bond with the concrete so that the two materials act compositely together. Steel deck is a cold formed corrugated steel sheet supported by steel joists or beams. This durable decking is made to resist corrosion insects mold and fire. The 1 5 inch deck comes in a standard 36 width unlike the 2.

Temporary wood forming is eliminated making steel form decks fast easy and efficient. It was developed to provide a structurally efficient product for use in roof and floor systems.
