1.5" Composite Floor Deck questions
What is the 1.5" composite floor deck designed to do?
It carries concrete slabs as permanent formwork and creates a composite system with greater strength and load-bearing capacity.
Which gauges does it come in when building in Lakeland?
22 GA to 16 GA. Heavier gauges handle bigger loads and longer spans.
Which finishes can I get?
Galvanized in G60 or G90, which offers superior corrosion resistance, as well as prime-painted and bare steel.
Can the deck be ordered in custom lengths?
Yes. It can be cut anywhere from 6'-0" to 40'-0" to keep waste to a minimum.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you deliver composite floor deck to Lakeland?
Yes. We deliver to Lakeland and serve all of Florida with same-day or next-day delivery for most orders.
What spans can composite deck achieve?
Depending on gauge and profile depth, composite deck spans 6–15 feet unshored. We provide span tables and shop drawings for your specific project.
What does composite floor deck mean?
It is a steel deck profile made to work compositely with concrete. Embossments on the steel create a mechanical bond with the concrete, forming a structural slab in which steel and concrete share the load.
How is composite deck different from form deck?
Composite deck stays in place as a permanent structural element of the finished floor, with steel and concrete carrying loads together. Form deck is temporary, and the concrete alone carries the load once cured.
How far can composite floor deck span?
Depending on gauge and profile depth, unshored spans reach 6 to 15 feet. Shored construction can reach longer spans. Our engineers supply span tables and calculations specific to your project.
Do I need shear studs with composite deck?
Shear studs are typically needed for composite action between the slab and the supporting steel beams. Between the deck and the concrete alone, the embossed profile supplies the mechanical connection.
