What is 1.5″ Roof Deck Type F?
1.5” Roof Deck Type F, also known as F Deck, Intermediate Rib Deck, or IR Deck, was developed with a wider rib opening than A Deck to increase its strength without using more steel. F Deck has since been replaced by B Deck. However, F deck is often used to retrofit existing F Deck in repair and restoration projects where matching the existing panel is critical. It is most commonly used in low-rise commercial roofing applications.
1.5” Roof Deck Type F is Available in:
- Gauges: 22, 20, 18, 16
- Finishes: Galvanized G60, Galvanized G90, Prime Painted
- Cover Width: 36″
