Metal Decking Button Punch Tool

January 11, 2021

Many types of metal deck have overlapping edges that need to be attached to form a base structure. The attachment limits the amount of space between two panels of metal decking, which prevents concrete from spilling through.

Additionally, attachment tools help ensure that your metal deck structure is solid. Metal Deck attachments are typically used to support structural beams or joists that are built on top of the decking. The proper attachment system can also be used to ensure your finished structure can withstand natural elements like strong wind or earthquakes, and the weight of construction equipment and construction workers.

When using metal deck for commercial construction projects, you need the right tools to attach pieces of metal deck together. Without the proper attachment tools, your built metal deck may not be able to support other elements of your project. One option that can be used to quickly and efficiently interlock metal deck is a button punch tool.

Why Should I Use a Button Punch Tool?

Typically, metal deck is attached with welds. However, welding requires a high level of skill and intensive inspection that is very time consuming, and often more expensive.

A button punch tool is a more economical, efficient option for attaching metal deck. It is faster than welding, and it does not require a large amount of experience to use. They can be used on all different types of metal deck, and gauges ranging from 22 grams to 16 grams. The attachment process works by crimping two overlapping edges of metal deck together to secure their place.
