What You Should Look For In a Metal Deck Supplier?

July 25, 2022

Finding a metal deck supplier can be overwhelming when you don’t know exactly what you are looking for. You should look for a trusted service provider that’s an expert in the industry and can guide you to pick the best metal deck for your next project. This article will cover the top four things you must keep in mind when choosing your metal deck supplier.

Top Priorities When Looking for a Metal Deck Supplier

Steel Deck Institute Certification

The Steel Deck Institute (SDI) has provided industry standards for nearly 100 years for the design, engineering, and manufacturing of steel deck. Particularly, the SDI provides guidance for metal roof and floor deck design and manufacturing in detailed manuals.

The SDI’s mission is to promote the advantages of steel deck for construction, including its durability and structural strength, economic value, sustainability, weather resistance, and physical appearance. Choosing a metal deck supplier that’s SDI-certified will ensure top-quality in your materials’ design and manufacturing process. This will give you peace of mind that you are getting the best of the best.

Per the requirements of SDI, galvanized steel deck must conform to ASTM A653 Structural Steel coil with a minimum yield strength of 33ksi. This requirement comes from the AISI S100 Standard for The Design of Cold Formed Structural Steel Members.

CSM has the ability to trace the Mill Certificate to every production order to show what we supplied meets SDI and AISI standards. This is very important if there are any quality or structural issues after shipment.

Competitive Pricing

Getting the best bang for your buck is a top priority whenever you make any purchase, especially when considering items for your next construction project. You want to ensure top-quality while making the best of your budget. Your metal deck supplier should be able to provide you with a direct line with their estimator that will help you choose between stock, lead time, and the best prices within your delivery date.

Experienced Team

You want to ensure the steel deck manufacturer you choose has a full line of products, knowledgeable staff, and expert guidance in the field. Your steel deck supplier should provide you with a consultation so that you can get the most fitting metal deck type for your project.

Timely Delivery

Timing is very important, specifically in the construction industry. Your products, materials, safety gear, and team members have to be scheduled ahead of time. You don’t want to waste anybody’s time because time is money. This is why you should agree with your metal deck supplier about the date you should receive the metal deck materials for your project. Your manufacturer should be able to have some items in stock for same-day delivery as well as custom-made options to fit your specific needs.
