3.5", Composite Floor Steel Decking Pan, 2 Ft x 10 Ft, 20 Gauge

Trapezoidal Metal Profile sheets with strong and reliable shear bond performance which is augmented by cross embossing located in the profile. The composite floor profile offers the ultimate in the light weight steel decking which reduced concrete usage to provide a cost effective and alternative floor solution that easy to install.The floor is constituted by a profiled sheet onto which a layer of concrete is poured. The sheet is bonded to the concrete by means of mouldings on the sheet which stop the concrete from slipping horizontally and detaching vertically. When the concrete is poured and until it has reached and appropriate level of hardening (stage 1), the weights of the concrete, personnel working and equipment used in borne by the sheet alone. Once the concrete has hardened (stage 2) the sheet and the concrete form a unified bond with all the characteristics of traditional reinforced concrete, where the sheet, after having performed the function of framework, acts as a metal reinforcement. Appropriate crop ends must be provided to absorb the negative moments.
