What is Steel Deck?

The press-formed steel plates that support the floor concrete are defined as steel deck,also known as floor decks,steel floor decks,and profiled steel plates.Steel Deck is a cold formed sheet of corrugated steel supported by joists or beams of steel.It was developed to provide the roof and floor systems with a structurally efficient product.The design and manufacturing optimize the steel 's properties to produce a high strength-to-weight ratio that decreases material handling and erection costs and retains durability. SOLIDECK have established over 15 years of satisfactory performance.

According to the function of use,steel deck is divided into steel floor deck,roof deck,wall deck,and steel floor deck can be divided into composite deck and form deck.Even after being a structural component and with its uniform quality these metal decks can provide an attractive appearance,especially when using the properly defined shop and field-applied coatings.Steel deck is also an integral component of several fire-rated assemblies licensed.

Steel decks have been widely used in floors,roofs and bridge decks of housing and industrial buildings.Steel floor decks can not only be used as permanent formwork,but also facilitate construction and effectively shorten the construction period.Moreover,it also has superior mechanical properties,which can replace the steel reinforcement at the bottom of the slab;the centroid of the steel floor deck is very close to the bottom of the slab,and compared with other composite slabs,it has a larger effective floor height and provides greater resistance to positive bending moments.Rectangular,flat bottom and even small grooves make the bottom very beautiful.Roof decks and wall decks are generally made of color-coated steel coils,which not only have bright colors and beautiful appearance,but also enhance the anti-corrosion performance of components.
