RoofDek D153 (Deep Deck) - Structural decking for roofs
Deep decks have exceptional strength and span capability, providing a
rugged structural platform for all roofing types. They are ideal for
architecturally interesting large space buildings as they eliminate the
need for purlins, but are used in any situation where a strong solid base
for the roof is required.
Single ply roofs, metal standing seam, asphalt and bitumen roofs all use
deep RoofDek, and in recent years they have been the default choice
for green roofs, which impose a heavy dead load.
When specifying deep decks, designers frequently take advantage of
Tata Steel's free diaphragm design service to reduce or eliminate in
plane roof bracing.
