What Is Metal Decking?
Metal decking is corrugated metal sheeting that’s used as a structural roof deck or composite floor deck. It supports the insulating membrane of a roof or supports and bonds with the concrete to create a composite metal floor deck. It’s supported by steel beams or joists. Metal decking has a high strength-to-weight ratio, and decreases construction and material costs. It’s an ideal product for multi-story buildings and the perfect platform for a roof or a concrete floor.
What are the advantages of steel decking?
- Less weight/lighter: The high strength-to-weight ratio allows for a massive weight reduction.
- Cost savings: The reinforcing steel is reduced by 25% and the amount of concrete used in the slabs is reduced resulting in lower costs.
- Ease of handling: Steel decking can be transported in pre-cut sizes according to the application.
- High strength: Slabs made with steel decking have high structural strength compared to traditional concrete slabs.
- Easy installation: Pre-cut pieces are quickly laid out over the construction area, minimizing work on-site and speeding construction.
Steel decks maximize the efficiency of steel’s properties, resulting in a high strength-to-weight ratio. Steel deck floor systems use less concrete than conventional flat plate slabs, allowing a massive weight reduction. They are a structurally efficient product. Let DValley Joist and Decking design a decking system for you.
