Its profile is 3 inches deep and is offered in 22 GA to 16 GA, which gives roofing contractors in Panama City room to match gauge to project.

Dimensions and profile
| Property | Dimension |
|---|---|
| Profile Depth | 3 inches |
| Coverage Width | 24 inches |
| Rib Spacing | 8 inches (center to center) |
| Rib Height | 3 inches |
Depth of profile is 3 inches and coverage width is 24 inches on the Type N Roof Deck. Rib spacing measures 8 inches (center to center), and rib height is 3 inches. A deep rib like this gives the strength needed for longer spans and heavy roofing loads, and the wide coverage makes large roofs quicker to cover.
Gauges and thicknesses
| Gauge | Bare steel thickness (in) | Weight (lbs/sq ft) | Typical applications |
|---|---|---|---|
| 22 | 0.0295 | 1.8 | Light duty roofs. |
| 20 | 0.0358 | 2.2 | Standard commercial roofs. |
| 18 | 0.0474 | 2.9 | Heavy load areas. |
| 16 | 0.0598 | 3.7 | Long spans, high loads. |
The Type N Roof Deck comes in 22, 20, 18, and 16 gauge, with different thicknesses and load capacities for each roofing project. Lighter gauges (22 and 20) cost less and suit short spans and lighter loads. Heavier gauges (18 and 16) bring added strength and durability, which suits long spans and heavy-duty roofing 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 N deck is available with several finishes for lasting performance, including galvanized (G60 and G90) and prime-painted. Galvanizing resists corrosion well, and G90 has a heavier zinc coating for environments with more moisture or chemical exposure. Prime paint adds a base coat, so it fits projects that call for extra paint or coatings.
