At CSM Metal Deck, we pride ourselves on delivering high-quality metal decking solutions tailored to meet our customers’ diverse needs. As a supplier certified by the Steel Deck Institute, UL Listed, and FM Approved, we follow strict standards to ensure our products’ structural integrity and longevity.
Our product range includes metal roof decks, composite floor decks, and form decks, all manufactured from structural-grade steel coil per ANSI standards. But what sets us apart isn’t just our product range; it’s our unwavering commitment to quality control.
Climate-Controlled Storage for Quality Assurance
One of the first steps in ensuring product quality starts with how we handle our raw materials. Our climate-controlled storage facilities house approximately 4 million pounds of inventory at any given time.
This inventory spans various standard profiles, gauges (from 16 gauge and up), and finishes. By controlling the storage environment, we ensure the steel coil is kept in pristine condition, free from moisture or contaminants that could compromise quality.
Having such a robust inventory allows us to meet customer demands quickly while maintaining the high standards our clients expect. Whether you need a custom order or require a quick shipment, our storage strategy ensures that we can meet your specifications quickly and precisely.
A Detailed Quality Control Process
At CSM Metal Deck, quality control isn’t a final step—it’s integrated into every phase of our production process. Every coil of steel undergoes a series of inspections to ensure that it meets our rigorous standards.
Gauge, Profile, and Width Checks
Before production can continue, our production supervisor, Hiker, verifies critical dimensions such as gauge (the thickness of the steel), profile, and width.
These checks are crucial because they ensure that each piece of metal decking meets the specifications required for strength, durability, and performance.
For instance, during our process, Hiker confirms the width tolerance through precise measurements and records these data points to ensure accuracy.
This meticulous attention to detail helps prevent errors further down the production line, guaranteeing that the product consistently meets CSM Metal Deck’s quality standards.
Second Layer of Verification
Once the gauge and width are verified, a second check is performed to ensure the coil is correctly tagged and meets all thickness requirements.
This secondary verification is an added step that many manufacturers might overlook, but at CSM, it is essential to maintain accuracy across the board.
Recording and Confirming Standards Compliance
After each measurement is taken and verified, the final step in our quality control process is recording all data to confirm compliance with industry standards and CSM’s stringent guidelines. Hiker, our production supervisor, meticulously documents each measurement, ensuring a clear record that everything meets the specified tolerances for gauge, profile, and width.
This thorough documentation guarantees that every product shipped from our facility meets and exceeds quality expectations, giving our customers peace of mind.
Keeping Products Dry and Protected Before Shipment
One of the challenges in the metal decking industry is ensuring that the product stays pristine before reaching the customer. Unlike other manufacturers who may let their products sit outside for weeks, potentially exposed to the elements, CSM Metal Deck stores all products under cover before loading them onto trailers for shipment.
This key differentiator ensures that all metal decking shipped from CSM arrives at your location free of rust, corrosion, or other moisture-related damage.
By protecting our products, we provide a higher level of quality and reliability that customers can trust.
