Versatile roof deck with impressive span and overhang capabilities

In exposed architectural applications, Versa-Dek® improves the cost-efficiency and structural performance of your project by eliminating the need for secondary ceiling materials. The dovetail design provides a clean and smooth ceiling aesthetic while concealing side-lap and fastener penetrations. Available with or without acoustical treatments in both Versa-Dek® and Super Versa-Dek® configurations. Versa-Dek® readily integrates the Versa-Wedge® hanger system to efficiently and economically install sprinkler pipes, mechanical ducts, electrical, plumbing and other utilities.

The dovetail profile of Versa-Dek® roof deck makes it ideal for open interior and exterior applications. Optional factory-applied coatings give ceilings an enhanced and visually appealing finish. Available in 2-inch and 3.5-inch profiles with optional acoustical treatments to achieve NRC ratings up to 1.00.

Versa-Dek® roof deck is available in lengths from 6 feet to 40 feet. Please check with your local New Millennium facility for lengths outside these parameters. This profile conforms to ASTM A1008/A1008M for uncoated and painted deck and A653/A653M for galvanized deck. Versa-Dek® is approved by UL and ULC and listed in the UL and ULC Fire Resistance Directories.

Refer to Steel Roof and Floor Deck Design Guide for the minimum yield strength used for each deck type. Contact New Millennium for availability of higher yield strengths when required. Or, use our steel deck specification tool to view load tables with commonly available non-standard yield strengths and/or gages.
