Gauge
Gauge | Thickness (inches) | Weight (lbs/sq ft) | Typical Applications |
|---|---|---|---|
22 | 0.0295 | 1.9 | Light-duty roofing and small spans. |
20 | 0.0358 | 2.3 | Medium spans, roofing, and floors. |
18 | 0.0474 | 3 | Heavy-duty composite floors. |
16 | 0.0598 | 4 | High-load floors and special spans. |
The 1.5” Composite Floor Deck is available in gauges ranging from 22 to 16, providing versatile options for different load and span requirements. Thinner gauges (22 and 20) are lightweight and economical, making them ideal for shorter spans and lighter loads. Thicker gauges (18 and 16) deliver increased structural strength, capable of supporting longer spans and heavier loads, ensuring reliability in more demanding applications.
Finish
Finish Type | Details |
|---|---|
Galvanized G60 | Zinc coating of 0.6 oz/ft². Recommended for general environments. |
Galvanized G90 | Zinc coating of 0.9 oz/ft². Ideal for highly corrosive environments. |
Prime-Painted | Provides a base coat for additional protection or paint adhesion. |
Bare Steel | Unfinished; typically for indoor use or controlled environments. |
To ensure durability and long-term performance, the 1.5” Composite Floor Deck is available in multiple finishes, including galvanized (G60 and G90) and prime-painted. Galvanized finishes deliver superior corrosion resistance, with G90 offering higher zinc coating for environments with greater exposure to moisture or chemicals. The prime-painted option provides a protective base coat, ideal for projects requiring additional paint or coatings. These finishes enhance the deck's lifespan and protect it from environmental wear and tear.
