Roof
Deck Introduction
Steel
Roof Deck, Acoustical Deck, Cellular Deck
Low
maintenance, high strength Wheeling roof deck is designed for pitched,
flat, or arched construction on virtually all types of nonresidential
buildings: schools, arenas, malls, supermarkets, auditoriums, and
similar structures. Diaphragm design with proper attachment patterns
can provide lateral stability, therefore reducing the need for structural
bracing. Roof deck is nationally known and specified because it
is lightweight, strong, economical, and easy to install.
Acoustical
roof deck is identical to standard roof deck, with the exception
of perforations along the webs of the ribs. On the job site, rolls
of sound absorbing fiber glass are placed between the perforated
ribs. NRC ratings of .85 to .95 are possible, depending on the insulating
product and the panel type.
Cellular
acoustical roof deck has a perforated bottom plate. Sound absorbing
fiber glass elements are placed in the cells for NRC ratings of
.65 to .90.
Wheeling
roof deck is available in two basic finishes: galvanized and thermal
setting primer paint. Galvanized roof deck is manufactured from
steel conforming to ASTM A653, minimum 33 ksi yield. Two galvanized
coating weights are available: standard G-60 and G-90, conforming
to ASTM A924. Primer painted roof deck is manufactured from steel
conforming to ASTM A611, minimum 33 ksi yield.
