The Letter in the Spec: Where to Start

Open any steel deck submittal and eventually you hit a letter: A, F, B, or N. That designation are never proprietary — it's the Steel Deck Institute's system describing the profile. Type F Decking is the middle of the four: narrower than a wide rib, wider than a narrow rib.

As your provider of roof deck products, we keep every order simple and easy. This guide walks through Type F.

What Intermediate Rib Means

The profile geometry in these products is characterized by how the trapezoid is shaped. A narrow rib presents more flange area above. Type B gives better spans for the material. Intermediate Ribbed Decking lands between them: enough top flange to support insulation well without giving up much span.

If you're specifying Type F or another profile, F Deck help you.
