The Type HD Form Deck is available in a range of gauges, including 26, 24, 22, and 20. These gauges offer varying thicknesses and load capacities to meet the needs of heavy-duty projects. Lighter gauges (26 and 24) are cost-effective and ideal for standard concrete slabs and moderate spans. Heavier gauges (22 and 20) provide superior strength and support for longer spans and heavier concrete loads, making them perfect for demanding applications like industrial floors, bridges, and parking structures.

Finish

Finish Type
Details
Galvanized G60
Zinc coating of 0.6 oz/ft². Recommended for general environments.
Galvanized G90
Zinc coating of 0.9 oz/ft². Ideal for highly corrosive environments.
Prime-Painted
Provides a base coat for additional protection or paint adhesion.
Bare Steel
Unfinished; typically for indoor use or controlled environments.

To ensure durability and long-term performance, the Type HD Form Deck is offered in multiple finish options, including galvanized (G60 and G90) and prime-painted. The galvanized coating provides excellent corrosion resistance, with G90 offering a thicker zinc layer for protection in high-moisture or chemical environments. The prime-painted finish adds a protective base coat, ideal for projects requiring additional paint or specialized coatings. These finishes enhance the deck’s lifespan and safeguard it against environmental wear and damage.
