Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some of the top questions about metal decking material and ordering from Structuarl Deck.

View All FAQs

  • What is your return policy?

    We do not accept returns due to all of the metal decking being cut to custom lengths.

  • What does a square of decking mean?

    A “square” of decking refers to 100 square ft of any type of decking.

  • What is the difference between a form deck and a composite deck?

    Composite Deck generally refers to a thin gauge, yet high yield strength decking that is designed to enhance the strength of the concrete being poured on top it.

    Composite Deck has embossments in the metal designed to interlock and connect to the concrete as it is being poured which then adds to the strength of the floor structure as part of the design.

    Here at StructuralDeck.com, we only offer Form Deck.

    This deck simply has a standard smooth surface and is designed only to support the dead weight of the concrete while it is being poured, and then the concrete is self-supported.

    Typically, a wire mesh product is used alongside Form Deck to reinforce the concrete to meet the engineered requirements.

    We do not offer composite deck.

  • Can I choose a custom sheet width?

    B Deck and Form Deck don’t have custom width options available. It provides 36″ wide coverage which is standard in the industry. However, you can choose a custom length.

  • In what applications should I choose white bottom over galvanized?

    Our White Bottom decking is painted with a brilliant reflective paint similar to the coating on a light fixture. This is recommended when you want the bottom or underside of your structure to have maximum brightness for a work space.

    Galvanized decking is generally less cost per square foot but gives the same rated capacity. This can be used for general construction when the decking is covered by a ceiling or the end user is not concerned about brightness.

    Galvanized is also recommended for form deck applications as the concrete being formed has moisture and wants to cause premature rust on the decking.
