Summary
- Hurricane-rated Type B metal deck installations

- Engineered load performance and warranties
At Miami Metal Deck we specialize in Type B Metal Deck installations for residential buildings in Florida, combining engineered performance, durable coatings, and proven hurricane resistance to protect your project while meeting Florida Building Code requirements.
Benefits of Type B Metal Deck
Type B metal deck delivers a high strength-to-weight ratio, rapid installation, and consistent structural performance for low- and mid-rise residential buildings. You benefit from shorter schedules, reduced on-site labor, superior diaphragm action for lateral loads, and compatibility with common insulation and roofing membrane systems.
Material options include G60/G90 galvanized steel and coated finishes to resist corrosion in coastal environments; decks are specified to ASTM standards and can be engineered for composite or non-composite applications to match load and deflection criteria.
Code Compliance & Hurricane Performance
Miami Metal Deck designs and installs systems to meet Florida Building Code and ASCE 7 wind requirements; we provide engineered calculations for uplift, fastener patterns, and diaphragm shear. Projects in Miami-Dade and Broward can be engineered to meet local product approval and enhanced wind performance standards.
We work with licensed structural engineers to produce shop drawings, perform load checks, and specify proper anchorage and edge conditions. Fastener schedules, welds, and coatings are selected to satisfy building officials and insurance underwriters.
Installation & Warranty
Installation follows factory tolerances and site QA processes: prefabricated panels where practical, precise sheet alignment, specified fasteners, and continuous inspection. Our crews are trained on sequencing with insulation, roof membranes, and parapet details to avoid rework and delays.
Miami Metal Deck backs workmanship with documented quality control and industry-standard finish warranties; we deliver engineered documentation and installation records so owners and inspectors have full traceability and confidence in long-term performance.
Applications and Cost Considerations
Type B metal deck is ideal for low- to mid-rise residential projects such as townhomes, condominiums, and multi-family buildings where speed, durability, and wind resistance matter. Competitive in cost compared with traditional joist systems, it reduces schedule risk and can lower overall installed cost when paired with Miami Metal Deck procurement and installation services. We provide transparent estimates, lead-time forecasting, and value-engineering options tailored to Florida projects.
