1.5" Type B Roof Deck
Looking for a 1.5" Type B metal deck supplier for projects in Cape Coral? This roof deck delivers strong structural performance and goes in quickly. It comes in 22 GA to 16 GA, meets SDI and ANSI standards, and ships in galvanized finishes such as G60 and G90 for added durability and corrosion resistance on Cape Coral roofing jobs.
Dimensions and profile
| Property | Dimension |
|---|---|
| Profile Depth | 1.5 inches |
| Coverage Width | 36 inches |
| Rib Spacing | 6 inches (center to center) |
| Rib Height | 1.5 inches |
This 1.5" Type B metal deck has a 1.5 inch rib depth and a standard coverage width of 36 inches, which makes it structurally efficient for roofing and flooring. Ribs sit 6 inches apart (center to center), and the 39 inch overall material width gives secure overlaps and strong composite action with concrete slabs. The profile maximizes strength at minimal weight, so it works across many kinds of construction.
Gauges and thicknesses
| Gauge | Bare steel thickness (in) | Weight (lbs/sq ft) | Typical applications |
|---|---|---|---|
| 22 | 0.0295 | 1.6 | Light-duty roofing and small spans. |
| 20 | 0.0358 | 2 | Medium spans, roofing, and siding. |
| 18 | 0.0474 | 2.6 | Heavy-duty applications. |
| 16 | 0.0598 | 3 | Heavy load spans. |
There are four gauges to choose from for Type B deck: 22, 20, 18, and 16. Each has different thickness and load capacity, so you can fit the deck to the project. Light and cost-effective, 22 and 20 gauge are best on shorter spans and lighter loads. Stronger 18 and 16 gauge carry longer spans and heavier loads, which makes them ideal for demanding applications.
Finishes and coatings
| Finish | 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. |
Type B deck is produced with several finishes for long service life, including galvanized (G60 and G90) and prime-painted. Galvanizing resists corrosion well, and G90 carries a heavier zinc coating for settings with more moisture or chemical exposure. Prime paint supplies a base coat for projects that will receive additional paint or coatings.
Material and finish options
Material grades include high-strength steel at 33 KSI, 40 KSI, 50 KSI, and 80 KSI. Each grade answers a specific structural need and strikes a balance between strength and flexibility. Galvanized (G60/G90) and prime-painted finishes both follow ASTM A653 specifications for corrosion resistance.
Custom lengths
From 6′-0″ pieces on smaller projects to spans of 40′-0″ on larger ones, we handle every dimension with precision and efficiency. Our custom length service is built around your specifications, so the deck fits well and little material is wasted on Cape Coral jobs.

Applications
Roof Deck Applications
Commercial and industrial roof systems that demand structural strength and durability rely heavily on Type B. It carries roofing insulation systems and works for vented as well as non-vented roofs.
Hybrid Structural-Ceiling Systems
Type B can also serve as an exposed ceiling in architectural spaces. It gives structural strength and a clean look while trimming extra materials and installation time.
Standards and product documentation
SDI (Steel Deck Institute) specifications are met by the 1.5" Type B deck, supporting high standards for design and performance in Cape Coral and beyond.
1.5" Type B Roof Deck questions
What gauge do most buyers choose for Type B decking?
20 gauge is typically the most common, because it offers a good balance of cost and strength for ordinary applications. Some projects need a different gauge based on their requirements.
What separates G60 from G90 galvanized finishes?
The coating on G60 is 0.60 oz/ft² versus 0.90 oz/ft² on G90. That makes G90 50% heavier in zinc and more corrosion resistant. G60 works for indoor applications or low-moisture environments, while G90 is better for outdoor use, roofing, steel decking, and structures facing weather, humidity, or corrosive conditions.
What are the maximum spans of the 1.5" Type B deck?
The answer depends on gauge, span type, and loading. For instance, 22-gauge deck spans up to 8 feet in multiple spans, and 16-gauge deck spans up to 14 feet. For exact numbers, refer to the load tables.
Can I get 1.5" Type B metal decking customized for my Cape Coral project?
Yes, gauge, finish, and length are all customizable. Lengths are cut to project needs, so there is less waste and installation goes more efficiently.
Do 1.5" Type B metal decking products meet industry standards?
Yes, they do. The deck follows Steel Deck Institute (SDI) standards and American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) design guidelines, ensuring quality, safety, and compatibility with construction codes.
3" Type N Roof Deck

Designed for Lightweight Insulated Concrete (LWIC) applications, the 1.5" Type B Vented Deck improves bonding and load distribution. This vented Type B profile is 1.5 inches deep and comes in gauges from 22 GA to 18 GA, so it adapts to different projects in Cape Coral. It complies with SDI and ANSI standards and is offered in galvanized finishes such as G60 and G90 for durability and corrosion resistance.
Dimensions and profile
| Property | Dimension |
|---|---|
| Profile Depth | 1.5 inches |
| Coverage Width | 36 inches |
| Rib Spacing | 6 inches (center to center) |
| Rib Height | 1.5 inches |
The 1.5" Type B Vented Deck has a 1.5 inch rib depth and a 36 inch standard coverage width, a good match for Lightweight Insulated Concrete (LWIC) applications. Rib spacing is 6 inches (center to center), and the 39 inch overall width allows secure overlaps and strong composite action with concrete slabs. Perforations in the profile promote adhesion and proper LWIC curing, which boosts strength, durability, and efficiency.
Gauges and thicknesses
| Gauge | Bare steel thickness (in) | Weight (lbs/sq ft) | Typical applications |
|---|---|---|---|
| 22 | 0.0295 | 1.6 | Light-duty roofing and small spans. |

Applications
Lightweight Concrete Systems
For composite slabs in LWIC systems, perforations let moisture escape while the concrete cures, which improves bonding. Condensation stays from getting trapped, structural integrity improves, and the insulated concrete system lasts.
Moisture-Controlled Roof Assemblies
In lightweight insulated concrete (LWIC) applications, the perforated profile improves adhesion and curing. Moisture can release as the concrete cures, which protects long-term insulation performance and prevents structural degradation in humid environments.
Standards and product documentation
Compliance with SDI (Steel Deck Institute) specifications applies to the 1.5" B Vented deck, supporting high standards for design and performance.
1.5" Type B Vented Roof Deck questions
What do the perforations do on vented Type B deck?
Airflow and moisture control improve, condensation is kept from building up, and adhesion gets better in lightweight concrete applications.
In what way does vented Type B deck improve composite systems?
The bond between deck and concrete is enhanced by the small perforations, giving stronger composite action. Moisture can also escape, so there is less risk of trapped water.
Does vented Type B deck work for all Cape Coral roofing applications?
Yes. It offers the most benefit in moisture-sensitive environments like vented roofing systems, where air circulation helps keep insulation from degrading and corroding.
What finishes can I order on vented Type B deck?
Choose galvanized (G60/G90) for corrosion resistance or prime-painted finishes for protection and compatibility with additional coatings.
Is structural strength affected by the vented Type B deck perforations?
No. Perforations are placed strategically, so load capacity is maintained while ventilation benefits apply to specific applications.
