PolySteel PanelDeck

PanelDeck adds a new dimension to the energy efficiency of commercial structures while providing the strength, protection and design flexibility so often required in these types of buildings.
Commercial:
ROOFS – Where maximum clear spans are required, PanelDeck can be used in conjunction with a variety of engineered truss systems to help create the unencumbered open spaces needed in warehouses, theaters,  gymnasiums and other multi-purpose buildings.  Sloped or flat, a PanelDeck roof can be easily sealed and waterproofed with a variety of readily available materials to create the most durable roof imaginable.
FLOORS – Separating the noises from one story to another is a common requirement for offices, hotels, apartments, condominiums and other high-density structures.  PanelDeck provides a virtually soundproof barrier between floors, in addition to the fire protection offered by a solid concrete slab.
WALL – The combination of high-density expanded polystyrene insulation with an integral steel insert and attachment point makes PanelDeck the perfect forming material for creating insulated tilt-up concrete walls.  The exterior can be finished with any traditional concrete-covering material available, while the interior can be covered and finished with drywall, creating an energy-efficient, user-friendly wall system that effectively competes with other finished tilt-up systems.

In all applications, utilities are easy to install in the pre-molded access passages, and any type of finish can be mechanically attached to the integrated steel inserts.  With the high cost of energy and an increasing demand for improving the workplace environment, PolySteel PanelDeck offers a unique and cost-effective solution to all of your commercial and industrial needs.
