AmDeck Floor & Roof System
The AmDeck® Floor & Roof System is a modular, lightweight, stay-in-place form made of Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) and used to construct concrete floors and roofs for commercial, industrial and residential uses. When installed properly the system provides structural strength through reinforced concrete and insulation through EPS. The System utilizes 10 inch lightweight steel framing studs which carry the temporary construction loads until the concrete gains its required strength and act as furring strips to which interior finishes can be attached. This system perfectly compliments your Insulated Concrete Form (ICF) structure and together they provide a complete structural and thermal "building envelope" for your floor or roof. Unique Features Enables Shoring Spans over 20ft The AmDeck® Floor and Roof System implements full 10" deep lightweight steel joists (Gauge 12, 14 or 16 depending on application) to support construction loads. As a result, the shoring can be placed up to 20 ft on centre which is four times less than competing products, significantly reducing construction costs. Provides StructureOne-way concrete floor / roof joists which are formed by the AmDeck® Floor and Roof System can span approximately 30 to 35 ft using normal concrete mixes and conventional reinforcing steel. Spans of greater than 40 ft can be achieved using higher strength concrete and post-tensioned reinforcing cable strands. Fully ReversibleThe AmDeck® Floor and Roofing System is fully reversible, reducing labour time and construction waste on the jobsite. Small Compact UnitsUnlike competing products the AmDeck® Floor and Roofing System comes in standardized, small, lightweight modular units. This means that the system is much easier to use and handle, since pieces are not as large and bulky. In addition, required sizes also do not need to be pre-ordered since quantity can be adjusted to fit your project needs and leftover forms may be used for future projects. High PerformanceThe EPS used in the green flooring and roofing decking system provides continuous insulation to your concrete floor or roof, which will provide you with an R-value of 17.8, or more depending on other materials used in conjunction with the system. The insulation is also highly effective at reducing the amount of noise that travels from one story to another. 
Offers Protection
When used for roofs, the concrete decking will provide ample protection against natural disasters such as tornadoes, hurricanes, and fires with a fire rating of up to 2 hrs.
