about 3" Composite Decking

What is 3" Composite Decking?

Three-inch composite decking refers to a metal deck panel with a 3-inch profile height, specifically designed for integration with poured concrete to form a composite floor system. The combination of high-strength galvanized steel and concrete delivers a superior flooring solution that is ideal for projects requiring enhanced load-bearing capabilities and fire safety. CWJ Deck’s 3″ composite decks are optimized for easy installation and long-term durability, ensuring your project is completed with efficiency and precision.

Features

Key Features of CWJ Deck’s 3" Composite Decks

Increased Load-Bearing Capacity

With a thicker profile of 3 inches, our composite decks are engineered to support heavier loads, making them ideal for use in large commercial spaces, manufacturing facilities, and other high-demand environments. The thicker profile enhances the deck’s strength, allowing it to support substantial live and dead loads while maintaining structural integrity.

Superior Noise Reduction

The additional depth of our 3″ composite decks provides an excellent acoustic barrier, making them particularly effective in environments where sound control is important. Whether you’re building office spaces, entertainment venues, or multi-story structures, these decks help minimize sound transmission between floors, creating a quieter and more comfortable environment.

Enhanced Fire Resistance

Our 3″ composite decks are equipped with advanced fire-rated coatings that comply with the latest safety regulations. The combination of concrete and galvanized steel provides additional protection against fire, helping to slow its spread and maintain structural integrity in the event of an emergency. The decks are designed to meet the rigorous fire safety standards required for large-scale commercial projects.

Customization Options

CWJ Deck’s 3″ composite decking can be customized to meet specific project needs. We offer a variety of profile options, including ribbed surfaces and embossed patterns, to improve concrete adhesion and overall performance. Custom lengths can be provided to minimize waste and ensure a precise fit for your project, speeding up the installation process and reducing on-site adjustments.

Technical Specifications

Designed for Strength and Long-Term Durability

Our 3″ composite decking is made from high-quality galvanized steel, available in gauges of 18 or 20 depending on the load requirements of your project. The deck panels feature a profile depth of 3 inches, offering superior strength and load-bearing capacity.

Installation Process

Seamless Installation for Maximum Performance

01

Preparation

Our team ensures that each 2" deck panel is cut to precise lengths based on project specifications, reducing on-site adjustments.

02

Placement

The decking is laid on steel frames or joists, serving as a formwork for poured concrete.

03

Concrete Pouring

Once in place, concrete is poured onto the deck, bonding with the steel profile to create a unified structure.

04

Shear Stud Installation

Shear studs may be installed to anchor the deck firmly to the steel beams, reinforcing composite action.
