Miami Metal Deck delivers professional Type B metal deck solutions for industrial warehouses across Florida. Our teams combine local code knowledge with fabrication and installation expertise to provide durable, high-capacity steel decking that reduces schedule risk and lifecycle costs. We focus on measurable performance: engineered spans, proven corrosion protection, and tight quality control so your project meets structural and permitting requirements.
Why Type B Metal Deck Suits Florida Warehouses
Type B metal deck is a versatile trapezoidal profile used for industrial roofing and flooring where long spans, high load capacity, and quick installation are required. It supports heavy equipment, high bay racking, and concrete toppings when specified for composite systems, improving structural efficiency and reducing support framing. For Florida warehouses, the profile offers proven uplift performance and compatibility with roof membranes and insulation systems.
Our engineering team designs decks to address Florida Building Code wind provisions and local wind uplift demands without overdesign. Miami Metal Deck provides sealed shop fabrication, punched attachment patterns, and welded splices to ensure field consistency. We document structural calculations and assembly details for permitting and coordination with your structural engineer and roofing contractor.
Performance and Specifications
Available in common commercial gauges (18 ga to 22 ga) and standard galvanization levels (G60 and G90), Type B metal deck can be specified with protective coatings, painted finishes, or post-applied treatments for corrosive coastal exposures. Panel widths, rib heights, and attachment spacing are engineered to meet project loads and deflection criteria.
Prefabrication reduces on-site labor and schedule. Our teams provide engineered shop drawings, mill certificates, and QA inspections as part of the delivery package. Typical workflow includes submittal review, material staging, staged delivery to minimize handling, and coordinated installation to maintain project sequencing. Warranties and quality assurances are documented in the contract package.
Cost, Durability, and Savings
Choosing Type B deck lowers lifecycle cost by minimizing steel framing, speeding erection, and enabling durable finishes that resist Florida's humid, coastal conditions. The deck supports efficient insulation and roof systems that can improve building energy performance and reduce maintenance cycles over decades.
Miami Metal Deck differentiates with in-house fabrication options, experienced installers familiar with Florida permitting, and engineering support for custom loading conditions. We provide project references for industrial warehouses, material traceability, and a consistent QA process to reduce change orders and schedule delays.
Planning Your Warehouse Deck Project
Specify Type B metal deck early in design to optimize spans and slab thickness, coordinate decking with roofing and MEP penetrations, and allow time for engineered submittals and permit review. Account for lead times on specific finishes and G90 orders for coastal projects. Work with your structural engineer and Miami Metal Deck early to align details, fasteners, and uplift connections for a smooth install.
