´ DECKING ± self-supporting of units of wood,

metal or concrete capable of spanning beams, joists, rafters, or purlins and serving as a base

for flooring or roofing.

´ METAL DECKING ± sheet steel strengthened for use as floor or roof decking by cold-rolling a

series of ribs or flutes into it, and usually

galvanized for corrosion resistance. Thespanning capability of metal decking depends on

the thickness of the steel sheet and the depth of 

the corrugations.

TYPES OF METAL DECKING

´ METAL ROOF DECK ± designed for pitched,

flat, or arched construction on virtually all typesof buildings. Roof deck is popular because it is

strong, lightweight, economical, and easy to

install. Roof deck can be produced with

acoustical, cellular, or cellular/acousticalproperties if required.

TYPES OF METAL DECKING

´ METAL FORM DECK ± designed to serve as a

permanent steel base for poured reinforcedconcrete floor slabs. Installation is fast, easy,

and economical: the need for temporary wood

forming is eliminated.

TYPES OF METAL DECKING

´

COMPOSITE METAL DECK ± has a ribbedprofile with embossments designed to interlock

with concrete slabs, creating a reinforced

concrete slab that serves the dual purpose of 

permanent form and positive reinforcement.

of cellular decking, used as a sound-absorping

ceiling.

´ Cold-Formed Steel Framing ± refers

specifically to members in light-frame buildingconstruction that are made entirely of sheetsteel, formed to various shapes at ambienttemperatures. The building elements that are

most often framed with cold-formed steel arefloors, roofs, and walls.

´ In high-rise commercial and multi-family residential

construction, CFSF is typically used for interior partitions and support of exterior walls and cladding. Inmany mid-rise and low-rise applications, the entirestructural system can be framed with CFSF.
