Roof & Ceiling Specifications
Structural steel decking, panelized roof systems, and ceiling options designed for load capacity, acoustic control, and weatherproofing.
B Decking (Wide Rib)
Type B (wide rib) deck provides excellent structural load carrying capacity per pound of steel utilized, and its nestable design eliminates the need for die set ends. 1″ or more rigid insulation is required for Type B deck. Acoustical deck (Type BA, BIA) is particularly suitable in structures such as loud manufacturing areas, schools, and theatres where sound control is desirable. Acoustic perforations are located in the vertical webs where the load carrying properties are negligibly affected (less than 5%). Inert, non-organic glass fiber sound absorbing batts are placed in the rib openings to absorb up to 60% of the sound striking the deck. Batts are field installed and may require separation from the decking profile.
N Decking (Acoustical)
Acoustical deck is particularly suitable in structures such as loud manufacturing areas, schools and theaters where sound control is desirable. Acoustic perforations are located in the vertical webs where the load carrying properties are negligibly affected (less than 5%). Inert, non-organic glass fiber sound absorbing batts are placed in the rib openings to absorb up to 70% of the sound striking the deck. Batts are field installed and may require separation from the decking profile.
