Composite Floor Deck Features and Uses

Composite floor deck is part of a flooring system that is commonly used in commercial and industrial buildings. The decking is typically installed over steel beams, steel joists, or concrete beams and is used for concrete pour applications. The galvanized panels have embossments on the inner face of the panel for concrete to adhere to the panel and become an integral part of the slab. These indentions provide reinforcing value from horizontal forces, increasing the overall strength of the floor. Composite floor deck provides an efficient form compared to wood forms and eliminates the need for temporary installation forms, decreasing time and costs.

Features of Composite Floor Deck

• Made of Steel Deck Institute (SDI) approved steel deck with reinforced embossments to improve the overall strength of the floor without increasing the thickness of the deck or concrete slab.
• Ribbed profile with alternating high ribs and valleys that provide stiffness and support to the panel.
• Can be installed over steel beams, steel joists, or concrete beams.
• Designed to support heavy loads and resist damage from foot traffic, machinery, wind forces, and other inertial forces.
• Galvanized finish protects from rust and deterioration.
• Offers improved acoustic performance, helping to reduce noise transmission between floors.
• Meets or exceeds fire rating requirements, providing an added layer of protection.

Uses of Composite Floor Deck

• Commonly used in commercial and industrial buildings where a high-strength, durable, and cost-effective flooring system is required, such as in warehouses, factories, and distribution centers.
• Used in multi-story buildings where floor weight, sound insulation, and fire resistance are important considerations, such as in hotels, hospitals, and office buildings.
• Suitable for a wide range of applications, including mezzanine floors, walkways, and bridges.
• Can be customized to meet the specific needs of the building and project, including profile, thickness, and finish.

The composite deck profiles we stock include 1-1/2” Composite Deck (1.5VL/VLI), 2” Composite (2VLI), and 3” Composite (3VLI). Oates Metal Deck also stocks galvanized cell closure to cover the open cells of the deck to prevent concrete from pouring through the cell openings on either end of the profile.
