What is steel decking?

Steel decking, also known as metal decking, is a sheet of high-performance galvanised steel used in the construction of composite concrete floor slabs. It can also be used as a structural feature in roof construction. When specified as metal roof decking it is used to support insulating membranes.

Composite metal decking is perfect for use in both floor and roof construction because it has a high strength-to-weight ratio. Other advantages of metal deck include uniform quality, proven durability including excellent fire performance and cost efficiency.Steel is also sustainable; it is one of the world’s most recyclable materials with over 40% of ‘new’ steel manufactured from recycled steel.Companies are finding new ways to make steel ‘greener’.

How is composite metal decking manufactured?

To manufacture metal decking, thin strips of galvanised steel are cold rolled into corrugated, or ribbed, shapes known as profiles.The shape and gauge of the metal deck profile influences factors such as the load capacity, thickness and fire performance of the finished composite floor slab.

What is a composite concrete floor slab?

Profiled steel decking is commonly used in conjunction with reinforced concrete to create a composite concrete floor slab.Decking sheets are cut to size and laid horizontally between the beams of a steel structure. The cut end of the deck is sealed off with an end cap and edge trim before each of the sheets is fixed to the top flange of the beam with shear studs using ‘thru-deck ‘or ‘straight to steel’ stud welding techniques.Sheets of mesh grid reinforcement are laid and fixed over the metal decking and concrete is pumped and screed on top to create a composite concrete floor slab.Indentations in the decking help the metal and concrete to bond and share the load burden.
