Vulcraft Steel Roof and Floor Deck Catalog - University of Maryland ...

VULCRAFT, a leader in the steel joist and
joist girder industry offers a complete range of
steel decking at the five strategically located
deck manufacturing facilities. The deck is
accurately roll formed in varying configurations
on the most modern high-speed roll forming
equipment available.
Steel roof and floor decks have long been
recognized for their economy because of their
light weight and high strength-to-weight ratio.
They provide a durable and attractive roof or
floor system for fast all-weather construction.
Steel decks also provide excellent lateral
diaphragm action thus reducing the necessity
for structural bracing and their incombustible
nature assures architects, engineers and
owners of excellent fire ratings.
FINISHES:
Vulcraft offers a selection of three finishes:
prime painted, galvanized and black
(uncoated).
Prime painted - prior to applying a baked-on
acrylic medium gray primer, the cold rolled
sheet is chemically cleaned and pre-treated.
An off-white primer is available at an additional
cost.
Galvanized - Vulcraft galvanized decks are
supplied from mill coated sheets conforming to
ASTM-A653-94, Structural Quality, and Federal
Spec. QQ-S-775, and they are offered in two
zinc coated finishes.
(1) G-90 - .9 ounce/sq.ft.
(2) G-60 - .6 ounce/sq.ft.
