Floor Decking

Floor decking, also known as decking or composite flooring, is a modern type of flooring made from reinforced concrete and concrete poured onto embossed galvanized steel sheets. This sheet not only completely replaces traditional formwork but also plays a crucial role in tightly linking with the steel beam system, floor reinforcement mesh, and concrete layer through shear studs. With this structure, floor decking becomes an ideal solution for modern construction projects, especially precast steel buildings and high-rise buildings.

Floor decking consists of three main components: the galvanized steel sheet, shear studs, and floor reinforcement mesh. The sheet is designed with embossed patterns to increase concrete adhesion while connecting with the steel beam system using shear studs to create a solid structure. The floor reinforcement mesh not only bears the main load but also minimizes the shrinkage of concrete during use.

Floor decking offers many outstanding advantages such as high load-bearing capacity, fire resistance of up to 120 minutes, and high durability suitable for all types of constructions requiring high loads. The lightweight design helps reduce the load on the structure and save construction costs, while the high aesthetic eliminates the need for plastering or false ceilings. Moreover, quick construction time and good sound and thermal insulation are also significant advantages.

Floor decking is widely used in high-rise steel frame buildings, industrial factories, showrooms, restaurants, shopping centers, schools, hospitals, and residential homes. In particular, its high load-bearing capacity and uniformity make floor decking an optimal choice for projects that require large spaces and substantial concentrated loads.
