Metal Decking:

To create a composite floor structure requires profiled steel sheeting used with concrete and steelwork. Metal decking has a ribbed or ridged contour that is produced through a process called roll forming. We need to take off the large metal sheets and steer through dies rolling around for creating the ribbed profile. The main motive of metal decking is to assist the insulating membrane of a roof or create a bond to form a composite metal floor deck.
