PRODUCT DETAILS
Steel Form Deck (commonly known simply as Form Deck or Non-Composite Floor Deck) is a structural steel panel used exclusively as a permanent mold or shuttering for poured concrete floor slabs .Unlike composite floor decks, steel form deck features a smooth surface profile with no mechanical embossments . Because the steel does not bond structurally with the concrete, it does not act as tensile reinforcement for the cured slab . Instead, its primary engineering role is to support the weight of wet concrete and construction workers during the pouring phase, while the long-term structural load of the floor relies entirely on internal steel rebar or wire mesh embedded in the concrete .

Engineering Notes |
|
Material Thickness (Gauges) |
28, 26, 24, 22, 20 Gauge |
Form decks use thinner steel gauges (e.g., 26 or 24GA) compared to composite decks, making them highly economical. |
|
Steel Grade |
Grade 40 to Grade 80 |
High-yield structural steel ensures the panels do not deflect under the weight of wet concrete. |
|
Standard Finishes |
Galvanized (G60/G90) or Unpainted / Black Steel |
Galvanized is standard for moisture resistance. "Black steel" (uncoated) is chosen only when the deck serves as a temporary form or is hidden in climate-controlled zones. |
|
Venting Options |
Solid or Vented |
Vented form decks feature small slots to allow excess water vapor from lightweight concrete to escape downward. |
This deck type can be used in such a variety of ways and is used primarily in floor seen in stairways, foundations or shallow mezzanine designs.
