Why Type B Metal Deck Suits Shopping Centers
Type B metal deck offers superior structural performance for shopping centers, supporting wide spans and heavy point loads from equipment and storage. The corrugated profile enables composite concrete slab action, increasing floor stiffness and reducing steel requirements. For roofs, Type B decks provide reliable substrate for insulation and weatherproofing, while offering fire-resistance when paired with specified concrete toppings and coatings.
Florida building codes and local jurisdictions require decks to meet wind, seismic, and fire standards; Miami Metal Deck provides engineered calculations, shop drawings, and third-party testing documentation to demonstrate compliance. Where Miami-Dade or Broward approvals apply we coordinate specifications and submittals to streamline permitting for shopping center renovations and new builds.
Technical Specifications and Options
Available gauges range to meet required load tables; coated galvanized finishes such as G60 or G90 are standard to resist corrosion in Florida's coastal climate. Accessories include span tables, shear connectors for composite decks, acoustic treatments, and factory or field-applied primers. We partner with structural engineers to select the correct deck profile and gauge for your project.
Miami Metal Deck maintains local inventory and supply chain relationships to reduce lead times for shopping center projects across Florida. We offer material procurement, delivery scheduling to coordinate with general contractors, and can fabricate specialty lengths to reduce waste and installation time.

Our certified installation crews follow manufacturer installation guidelines and project-specific engineered drawings. Installation steps include layout and fastening, shear connector placement for composite slabs, and coordination with concrete trades.
