When selecting a metal deck supplier, quality, safety, and reliability are critical factors that should never be compromised. Choosing an SDI member company ensures you receive metal decking manufactured to the highest industry standards. CSM Metal Deck is proud to be an SDI-certified supplier, meaning our products meet strict performance and quality requirements, offering unmatched value to our customers.
Why SDI Certification Matters
The Steel Deck Institute has set industry standards for steel deck manufacturing since 1939. Becoming an SDI member is no small feat—companies must adhere to rigorous material and performance standards to maintain certification. SDI membership ensures that:
- The metal deck is manufactured from high-quality, prime structural steel coil.
- The deck meets or exceeds ANSI Standards for Cold-Formed Metal Framing.
- Products are regularly audited and tested to guarantee consistent quality and performance.
- Each piece of metal deck can be traced back to its original steel coil, ensuring accountability and transparency.
By choosing an SDI-certified supplier like CSM Metal Deck, you are investing in metal decking that has been rigorously tested for strength, durability, and long-term reliability.
