Deep-Dek® Composite helps make steel frame solutions cost-effective
Deep-Dek® Composite is a space-saving option ideal for multi-story construction projects capable of open spans up to 36 feet—including unshored pours up to 22 feet—and low-profile slabs as thin as 7.635 inches. The result is a long-span composite floor system that maximizes ceiling height and reduces building height.
Deep-Dek® Composite is versatile and efficient, providing many options for maximum safety, performance and cost savings. It weighs less than equivalent concrete floors yet installs faster and attains span-to-depth ratios equal to traditional cast-in-place concrete and hollow-core plank. Deep-Dek® Composite features a patented side-lap connection and deep-ribbed deck profile to achieve its composite bond with the overlaid concrete.
Aesthetically, Deep-Dek® Composite can be left exposed for a bold, deep-fluted appearance while the cellular deck option creates a smooth surface with thin structural ribbing. It also is available in a variety of finishing options.
