What is a steel deck and what are its benefits?

A steel deck is a modern and durable roofing system that is constructed by combining trapezoidal galvanized steel sheets and shear connectors. In this structure, after the steel sheets are placed on the frame, reinforcement and concrete are poured, resulting in a strong, lightweight, and very fast-to-implement roof.
Compared to traditional roof construction methods, this technology reduces the weight of the structure and saves time and project costs by eliminating many unnecessary components.

Advantages of steel deck

• Lighter weight than conventional roofs and reduced dead load of the building
• Economic savings in construction costs
• Possibility of simultaneous implementation of multiple roofs and rapid concrete pouring
• Depot capability in small and limited spaces
• Elimination of formwork and reduction of the volume of materials required
• Elimination of secondary beams and tension bars
• High speed of implementation and shortening of project time
• Fast return on investment due to shorter construction time
• Easy transportation and occupying the least depot space in the workshop
• Approved by the Road, Housing and Urban Development Research Center

Why steel decks?

If you are looking for a light, durable, fast-implementing and economical roof, steel decks are the best option.
This system is a smart choice for large industrial projects, multi-story buildings and projects with tight schedules.
