Metal Decking

Metal roof deck, metal form deck, and composite metal deck are the most typical types of metal deck installed by Sowles crews.

Metal deck is most commonly fastened to supporting steel members by welding and powder actuated pins. Composite metal deck is also fastened at shear stud locations. Side laps for metal deck are fastened with screws.

Our crews install the metal deck using approved field installation drawings that incorporate project requirements such as Steel Deck Institute (SDI-www.sdi.org) requirements and Engineer-of Record approvals.
