Steel Decks

A steel deck is a type of cold-formed corrugated metal most commonly used to support the insulating membrane of a roof. It is created by stamping and pressing traditional sheet steel into the desired shape, which, upon installation, provides extra support between the roof’s joists and beams. Steel decks are designed to have a high strength-to-weight ratio for handling heavy loads of concrete… More

A steel deck is a type of cold-formed corrugated metal most commonly used to support the insulating membrane of a roof. It is created by stamping and pressing traditional sheet steel into the desired shape, which, upon installation, provides extra support between the roof’s joists and beams. Steel decks are designed to have a high strength-to-weight ratio for handling heavy loads of concrete and membrane while still remaining versatile. The width and depth of the ribs in each piece of steel deck are crucial to providing lateral force distribution throughout the structure's vertical force resisting systems. Less
