Speed up of the execution process and elimination of costly time consuming traditional methods is an important factor of industrialization. One of the parts of a building that has a considerable effect in the construction speed is the roof. If modern methods are utilized regarding the construction of the roof, the project will be executed in a more time efficient and suitable manner. Composite steel deck roof is one of the modern methods of construction which has become very popular today all around the world.
A steel deck roof is made with embossed trapezoidal galvanized sheets and without the use of rebar or formwork. This kind of roof weighs 30 to 60 percent less and the execution speed is about 12 times faster than typical roofs such as concrete slabs or piles.

What is Metal Deck?
Metal decking is a corrugated metal panel used in construction for its strength, versatility, and ease of installation. Typically made from steel or aluminum, it serves as a structural floor or roof system, often combined with concrete to create a durable composite structure. Metal decking enhances load-bearing capacity, speeds up construction, and provides excellent fire resistance. Its applications range from commercial buildings and industrial facilities to residential projects and public infrastructure, making it a vital component in modern architecture and engineering.

Features and Benefits of Metal Deck
A metal deck is a construction material made from corrugated galvanized steel sheets, designed to support flooring or roofing systems. Its ribbed, corrugated design enhances strength and rigidity, while the galvanized steel offers resistance to corrosion, ensuring a longer lifespan. Available in various profiles and depths, metal decks can be tailored to specific construction needs and load requirements. Despite their strength, they are relatively lightweight, making them easy to handle and install. Metal decks are often used in composite floor systems with concrete to boost structural performance and are treated for fire resistance, meeting safety regulations.
Benefits include:
- Speed of Installation: The lightweight nature and design allow for quick and efficient installation, speeding up the construction process.
- Cost-Effectiveness: Reduced labor costs and construction time lead to overall cost savings.
- Durability: Resistant to environmental factors such as moisture and fire, ensuring a long-lasting structure.
- Strength: Provides excellent support for heavy loads, ideal for large commercial and industrial buildings.
- Reduced Building Weight: Helps lower the overall weight of the building, which can reduce foundation costs.
- Improved Structural Performance: Enhances load-carrying capacity and stiffness when used in composite construction with concrete.
- Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of applications, including roofing, flooring, and mezzanines, making it a flexible option for various construction projects.
