Concrete Metal Form Deck

What Is Form Decking?

Form decking is a corrugated metal that is used as a form to support the weight of structural concrete while the concrete slab cures. It's a popular choice because it's inexpensive and it does not need to be removed when the concrete has cured.

What Is The Difference Between Composite Deck And Steel Form Deck?

Both types of these types of metal decking are designed to support wet concrete, but there is one key difference. A composite floor deck has embossments in the flutes of the metal decking and that allows the concrete and the metal to bond and create a composite metal floor deck. This increases the strength of the floor and does not increase the weight of the floor. Metal form decking will not increase the strength of the floor system.
