was expanded to include composite floor deck, deep roof deck,
cellular roof and floor deck and metal wall and roof panels and all

Over a 40 year period, United Steel Deck, Inc. grew into the
eastern United States’ leading manufacturer of decking products.

Roof deck products are typically used as the structural component of many flat, pitched, or arched roof systems because of their benefits with regards to strength, weight, and economy. It is commonly attached to open web steel joists, structural steel, or light gage framing. Aside from the standard roof deck profiles, long-span, cellular, acoustic, and cellular acoustic products are also available to meet project needs. Shop curving of some roof deck products is also available with certain radius limitations.

Composite deck is designed for use with structural concrete, and is manufactured with mechanical embossments in the webs to create mechanical and chemical bond between the deck and the concrete. The composite action allows the deck to serve as the tensile reinforcement for positive bending in the slab, which significantly reduces or eliminates the need for rebar in the slab and lowers material and labor costs. The strength and durability of the steel provides a solid platform for construction on top of open web joists, structural steel, light gage framing, or masonry walls. The deck acts as a form for the concrete and is typically designed so that shoring is not required. Cellular and cellular acoustic composite deck products are also available.

Non-composite deck, otherwise known as stay in place form deck, is used in conjunction with structural concrete or lightweight insulating fill for floor or roof applications. Because it does not have mechanical embossments in the webs, it cannot develop composite action, and other means of reinforcement must be used in the concrete. It strictly serves as a platform for concrete or fill over open web joists, structural steel, light gage framing, or masonry walls. Venting of form deck is also available as a means of venting the concrete or fill.

A variety of long-span decks are available for both roof and form applications. The profile depths of 4 ½”, 6”, and 7 ½” allow the deck to span longer distances between supports and achieve additional load capacity.

Cellular deck consists of a flat liner panel shop welded to a deck element to create a deck product that provides the strength of a corrugated deck while achieving a flat appearance from the underside. The cellular deck can be used for a roof, composite, or form deck application.

Acoustic deck contains fiberglass insulation batts that are designed to absorb sound and prevent echoing within the space. For non-cellular deck there are perforations in the webs with fiberglass batts field installed on top of the deck in the low flutes. Cellular deck has perforations in the liner panel with the batts shop installed into the cells of the deck.
