Steel Roof Deck Solutions
Our steel roof deck systems combine structural strength with installation efficiency for commercial and industrial buildings. Engineered profiles like B-Deck and N-Deck provide optimal load capacity while reducing material and labor costs. The innovative PunchLok II system enables weld-free installation, improving safety and accelerating project timelines.
Composite Steel Floor Deck
FormLok composite deck systems create durable floor structures by integrating steel profiles with concrete slabs. This solution eliminates temporary shoring requirements while providing superior load-bearing capacity. The system's design allows for future modifications and accommodates mechanical systems through integrated hanging solutions.
Non-Composite Steel Floor Deck
Vercor deck profiles offer cost-effective floor and roof solutions for projects without composite action requirements. Available in shallow and deep profiles, these systems provide structural efficiency while allowing design flexibility. Ideal for low-rise buildings and projects requiring rapid installation.
Dovetail Deck Profiles
Next-generation Dovetail Deck profiles feature enhanced sidelap geometry and PinTail anchor compatibility. The 2-inch and 3-inch profiles offer increased load capacity and unshored spans. Acoustic versions incorporate perforated panels for sound control in noise-sensitive environments.
PunchLok II System
PunchLok II creates high-strength sidelap connections without welding, using a pneumatic tool to form interlocking crimps. This system improves diaphragm shear strength by 25% compared to traditional methods while eliminating paint touch-up requirements. Provides visual confirmation of proper installation for quality assurance.
