Summary
- Built for heavy-load distribution centers
- Florida Building Code compliant
- Fast lead times and warranty
For distribution centers across Florida, Miami Metal Deck delivers Type B metal deck solutions engineered for heavy loads, long spans, and code compliance. Our team provides design-assist, shop drawings stamped by licensed engineers, and field crews experienced with composite floor decks and roof decks. Choosing Type B metal deck from Miami Metal Deck means proven uplift resistance, efficient concrete integration, and durable galvanization options (G60/G90) tailored to Florida's coastal and hurricane-exposure conditions.
Why Type B Metal Deck Works for Distribution Centers
Type B metal deck is a structural steel profile optimized for composite concrete slabs and platform decks. Available in common gauges and flute configurations, it supports heavy point loads from racking and forklifts when specified with proper concrete thickness and reinforcement. We stock galvanized finishes and offer G60 and G90 coatings to prevent corrosion in coastal Florida environments.
Span capabilities, load tables, and shear connector options are selected based on your project's engineer of record. Miami Metal Deck collaborates with structural engineers to produce accurate load tables, stamped shop drawings, and tested connection details that meet Florida Building Code and ASTM standards. Independent testing, weld certifications, and mill traceability are available on request to support owner and insurer due diligence.
Code Compliance and Engineering Support
Every Type B metal deck system we supply meets applicable sections of the Florida Building Code for commercial and industrial facilities. We provide stamped calculations, coordination drawings, and submittal packages to expedite permitting and reduce RFIs during construction.
Our engineering-backed approach includes material traceability, mill test reports, and compliance checks for wind uplift and fire-rating where required. For distribution centers near the coast, we recommend higher-coating specs and enhanced anchorage details to withstand corrosive exposure and hurricane loads.
Installation, Logistics, and Turnkey Services
Miami Metal Deck offers turnkey services: supply, layout, welding, and installation by certified crews familiar with fast-track distribution center schedules. We manage deliveries to match concrete pour sequences, staging, and erection sequencing to minimize on-site congestion.
Local inventory and Florida-based logistics reduce lead times and freight costs. We provide pre-install coordination, site safety plans, and on-site quality inspections to ensure decks are installed per drawings, ready for concrete placement, and integrated with other trades.
Warranty, Lead Times, and Cost Predictability
We stand behind our Type B metal deck with material warranties and workmanship guarantees tailored to commercial projects. Typical lead times for stocked profiles in Florida range from 1-3 weeks; custom finishes and coated orders vary. Early engagement lets us provide firm pricing, optimized material selection, and reduced schedule risk for your distribution center project.
