0.6″ Form Deck

9/16” Form Deck

Form decks are often chosen for their lightweight and high strength-to-weight ratio; these materials are durable and attractive flooring solutions for commercial applications. A 9/16” form deck is used extensively in floor construction as an economical form to support concrete slabs during construction. This metal form deck serves as a permanent steel base for poured concrete. Using a form deck eliminates the time and cost of wood forming, making it a quick, easy, and affordable solution.

Applications for 9/16” Form Deck

This type of form deck requires less concrete but spans shorter distances than deeper-form decking. Since this form is lighter, it is ideal for small spans and residential applications. The 9/16” form deck is used for standard duty projects and provides a strong foundation for forming slabs while giving lateral stability to structural members.

DMAC Industries has an inventory of 9/16” form decks in various gauges, including 28, 26, 24, and 22, all available in a durable galvanized finish. The form deck should always be galvanized to support lightweight insulating concrete fill, ideal for high-moisture environments. This form deck (sometimes called 0.6 form deck) is available in a 30-inch or 35-inch cover width and features rib spacing of 2 ½” inches from center to center.

0.6 Form Deck Installation

The steel framing works well independently or in combination with other structural systems. Each unit shall be placed on a supporting steel framework and adjusted to final positions before being permanently fastened. An unfastened deck should never be used as a working platform or storage area. If your project requires cutting of openings through the deck, cutting should be performed in the field, and openings should be cut and reinforced if necessary per the Steel Decking Institute (SDI).

All Form Decks Are Certified for Quality Assurance

At D-MAC Industries, we adhere to strict industry quality guidelines and certify that our form deck complies with the applicable SDI standards and property values for the Uniform Load tables. Each form deck, including our 9/16” steel form deck, meets or exceeds SDI requirements for engineering, design, manufacturing, and usage.

Our metal-form deck is intended for structural purposes and indoor use. Galvanized products stored outside may have oxidized over time; however, this will not affect the structural integrity of the steel. To protect your form deck from corrosion or damage, follow SDI guidelines in storage and handling materials. We always recommend keeping your form deck away from snow and ice, as this can damage the galvanized finish. If you have any questions regarding the storage or handling of your form deck, our experienced team will be happy to help.
