WHAT IS A DECK SHEETS?

Deck sheets are flat surfaces or platforms capable of supporting flooring and roofing sheets and these are connected to the outer or inner part of the building structure. These sheets are very helpful in reducing the concentrated loading effect of roofing on the building structures by proper distribution of load. To manufacture these sheets, we use steel, aluminium or alloy as a base material. In normal roofing and flooring, decking enables to transfer of the shearing forces and helps to retain the proper structure of roofing. Decking is excellent support for proper roof safety against leakage, UV rays, and cracking.
