Why Metal Decking Is the Backbone of Modern Construction
Available Now at Refined Metal
When it comes to structural integrity, efficiency, and long-term durability, metal decking stands as one of the most important components in today’s commercial and industrial construction projects. Whether you’re working on a multi-story building, a warehouse, or a parking structure, metal decking offers the strength and versatility that concrete and wood simply can’t match.
At Refined Metal, we supply top-tier metal decking solutions designed to meet the high demands of modern builders, architects, and contractors.
What Is Metal Decking?
Metal decking refers to corrugated sheet metal used as a structural platform. It’s most commonly used to support concrete or insulating membrane of a roof. There are two primary types:
-
Roof Decking – Provides a base for roofing materials and insulation.
-
Floor Decking – Supports concrete slabs in floors and provides reinforcement.
These decks are typically made from galvanized steel to ensure corrosion resistance and long-lasting performance, even in harsh environments.
Benefits of Metal Decking
✅ Strength and Load-Bearing Capacity
Metal decking is engineered to carry heavy loads with minimal material, making it ideal for high-rise buildings and large commercial projects.
✅ Fire Resistance
Steel decking adds to a structure’s fire rating and can be paired with fireproofing materials to meet code requirements.
✅ Fast Installation
Lightweight yet sturdy, metal decking can be installed quickly—helping reduce construction timelines and labor costs.
✅ Design Flexibility
Our decking comes in various gauges and profiles to suit your project needs, from light-duty applications to heavy-load requirements.
✅ Durability
Unlike wood, steel won’t rot, warp, or succumb to pests—making it a long-term investment in your building's structural health.
