Does Miami Metal Deck Cut Type B Deck to Custom Lengths?
Yes. We cut 1.5" Type B roof deck to custom lengths (our site lists 6' to 40') from an optimized cutting list built from your plans. Type B is a roof deck, though. For floors, the matching choices are composite floor deck in 1.5", 2" or 3", or 1.5" Type BI inverted form deck. We cut and deliver all of them across Florida.
Custom lengths for roofs
Our takeoff service produces a cutting list that matches sheet lengths to your framing, so crews set sheets instead of trimming them. Type B comes in 22, 20, 18 and 16 gauge, galvanized G60 or G90, with painted and vented options.
Picking the right deck for floors
- Composite floor deck (1.5", 2" or 3", 22 to 16 gauge, 50 ksi) bonds with the concrete slab and acts as its tension reinforcement.
- 1.5" Type BI inverted form deck (22 to 16 gauge, 50 ksi) serves as permanent formwork for concrete.
- Composite deck in 20 gauge and heavier can have hanger tabs for ceiling and MEP hangers.

Related Questions
Can Type B roof deck be used for a floor?
Type B is designed and load-tabulated as roof deck, carrying insulation and membrane and resisting wind and seismic loads. Floors normally use composite floor deck or form deck designed for concrete. The engineer of record selects the profile; we supply whichever the drawings call for.
What lengths can you cut?
Our site lists custom cut lengths from 6' to 40'. The right length depends on the framing layout, span condition, handling and delivery. The takeoff and cutting list set the lengths for your project. If a length is outside that range, ask us and we will look at the options with you.
