Composite Deck Slab is steel cum concrete slab having ribbed steel profile at the bottom & concrete on top, together forming a part of the floor/ roof structure called the composite deck slab. Primarily the Concept of Deck sheet usage has crept into the construction industry of India during the past few years, though this has been prevalent prominently in overseas projects & usage of the same has also increased enormously in today’s scenario. However in India this concept is catching fast now & usage for this type of structure has increased drastically in domestic market mainly because of the explored advantages of steel deck profile.
Applications of Metal Deck Sheet
Composite or Metal decking is one of the most effective method of constructing floors in steel building and significantly useful in high rise RCC / Steel Buildings &TG buildings of Power project constructions. We manufacture profiles which can be supplied within a short period and also develop customized decks suitable for specific requirements. Metal decking can be effectively used in following constructions of Multi-story buildings (Industrial / Residential), Shopping malls, Super markets, Silos, Storage Areas, Mezzanine Floors, Bridges, Walkways and Platforms etc.
Advantages of METAL DECKING usage
- Light weight and doesn‘t require any form work or support props for slab casting.
- Reduces the reinforcing steel by 25% as deck profile itself contributes largely to the tensile reinforcing property.
- Acts as composite member and as permanent shuttering.
- No major reinforcement required unless the design parameters demand.
- Decreases in slab thickness, provide lighter slabs, reduced foundation loads resulting in less material
- Consumption & thus lowering the cost.
- Deck can be used as working platform during construction.
- Enables speedy construction of the project thereby reducing cost of time period.
- Metal deck can also be used as roofing and cladding sheet s in cement! power and bulk material handling plants.

Searching for the best Decking Sheets Suppliers in UAE? APT Metals is here for you!
Metal decking has become one of the preferred construction methods in recent years and we are one of the top suppliers of metal decking due to our renewed popularity in top-quality materials and construction.
Decking sheets significantly speed up the build process. It is now used in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings.
Why is Our Decking Sheets Best in UAE?
Low weight
Panels made with steel decks have high structural strength compared to traditional concrete panels. This creates a high strength-to-weight ratio that allows for massive weight reduction.
Metal decks reduce the amount of labor or support braces required to cast the slabs.
Cost Effective
Due to the reinforcement and strength of the metal deck, mixed decks can greatly reduce the amount of concrete used in the slabs while maintaining the same strength. This results in a low-cost metal deck.
Easy to Handle
The steel deck can be transported in pre-cut sizes according to the application at the construction site, which can then be quickly placed over the construction site. This greatly minimizes site work and can contribute to faster construction. The cover does not have to impede other processes that are carried out in different parts of the construction site.
Shuttering Material install with Ease
Metal cover plates function as both composite members and permanent formwork, resulting in savings in utility installation and formwork material installation.
High Strength
Reinforced concrete composite panels with a metal deck can add great strength to the structure. The strength of the concrete combined with the flexible reinforcement of the metal deck serves to create a stronger wrap-around slab that can withstand a large load over a long period of time. No additional reinforcement is required unless required by design parameters.
