9/16" Type S Form Deck
Slab construction in floors and roofs relies on Type S Form Deck as permanent formwork, thanks to its strength and straightforward installation. Gauges run from 28 GA to 20 GA, and manufacturing meets SDI and ANSI standards. It is a regular choice for Cape Coral concrete work.
Dimensions and profile
| Property | Dimension |
|---|---|
| Profile Depth | 9/16 inches |
| Coverage Width | 36 inches |
| Rib Spacing | 2.57 inches (center to center) |
| Rib Height | 9/16 inches |
Type S Form Deck has a shallow 9/16-inch rib depth and a standard coverage width of 36 inches, which suits fast concrete slab forming. With ribs spaced 2.57 inches (center to center), it gives a stable forming surface that holds concrete volume down without giving up structural integrity.
Gauges and thicknesses
| Gauge | Bare steel thickness (in) | Weight (lbs/sq ft) | Typical applications |
|---|---|---|---|
| 28 | 0.0149 | 0.65 | Light-duty concrete formwork, low-load applications. |
| 26 | 0.0179 | 0.75 | Standard concrete slabs. |
| 24 | 0.0239 | 1.0 | Medium-duty floor and roof slabs. |
| 22 | 0.0299 | 1.25 | Medium-duty floors, multi-level buildings. |
| 20 | 0.0358 | 1.5 | Heavy-duty formwork, bridges. |
Five gauges are offered for Type S Form Deck: 28, 26, 24, 22, and 20. Choose 28 or 26 for cost-effective standard concrete slabs. Where spans are longer or concrete loads heavier, as with bridges and industrial floors, gauges 22 and 20 give superior strength.
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 S Form Deck is supplied galvanized (G60 and G90) or prime-painted. Galvanizing protects against corrosion, and G90 gives extra protection in highly corrosive conditions. G60 and G90 finishes both meet ASTM A653 specifications.
Material and finish options
Our Type S Form Deck is made from high-strength 80 KSI steel. Choose a corrosion-resistant galvanized finish that meets SDI/ANSI standards, one of several painted finishes for a tailored look, or bare steel for custom applications. Every finish is meant to improve durability and keep performance steady in demanding environments.
Custom lengths
From 6′-0″ pieces for smaller projects to spans reaching 40′-0″ for larger construction, we supply the dimensions you need. Our custom length service is set up around your requirements, so the deck fits well and little material is wasted.
9/16" Type S Form Deck features
Type S Form Deck delivers high structural strength, efficient concrete forming, and corrosion-resistant finishes at a sensible price. It adapts well to multi-level buildings, bridges, and tunnels.
High Structural Strength
Engineered for concrete slab support, with strength and stability that hold during and after the pour.
Efficient Concrete Formwork
Fast construction is the draw: this form deck suits slab forming in multi-level buildings, bridges, and tunnels, and it saves labor time and material.
Galvanized or Prime-Painted Finish
Durable, corrosion-resistant G60/G90 galvanized or prime-painted finishes for demanding environments.
Cost-Effective Solution
Its lightweight shallow profile means less concrete and a stable forming surface, which brings down project costs.
Compliance with SDI Standards
Steel Deck Institute (SDI) and ANSI guidelines are met, which ensures quality and code compliance.
Versatile Design Options
Gauges 28 through 20 are offered along with G60/G90 galvanized coatings and custom lengths of 6 to 40 feet.
Installation and connections
Installation practices
- Place the deck at right angles to the supports.
- Attach it at every support with pins, powder-actuated fasteners, or TEK screws.
- Overlap the sidelaps and fasten them with screws at 12" o.c.
Fasteners and attachments
- Deck is secured to supports with pins or powder-actuated fasteners
- #10 TEK screws at 6" o.c. on edges and 12" o.c. for sidelaps
- Sidelaps are attached by button punching or by #10 TEK screws at 12" o.c.
Confirm the profile, gauge, span, loads and connections against your project drawings and the applicable product load tables before ordering.
Applications
Composite Floor Slabs
Slab forming in multi-level buildings, bridges, and tunnels is an ideal fit. The shallow rib profile cuts concrete volume and provides an efficient, stable forming surface.
Bridge and Tunnel Formwork
Type S Form Deck sees wide use as permanent concrete formwork in bridge decks and tunnels, where it supports the structure during concrete placement.
Standards and product documentation
Design and performance of Type S Form Deck follow SDI (Steel Deck Institute) specifications and ANSI standards, a point worth noting for any project in Cape Coral.
9/16" Type S Form Deck questions
Why use Type S form deck?
Type S form deck acts as permanent formwork for concrete slabs in floor and roof systems. It gives a stable base while concrete is placed and stays put after curing.
Is form deck the same as composite deck?
No. Form deck serves only as formwork, so the cured concrete slab carries the load independently. Composite deck bonds structurally with the concrete and shares load permanently.
What are the Type S form deck gauge options?
28, 26, 24, 22, and 20 GA, with thickness from 0.0149" to 0.0358".
Which fastening methods work for Type S form deck?
Pins, powder-actuated fasteners, or TEK screws attach the deck. Button punching or #10 TEK screws at 12" o.c. secure the sidelaps.
Does Type S form deck come in custom lengths?
Yes, in lengths from 6'-0" to 40'-0". That reduces waste and fits each project precisely, including work in Cape Coral.
