Understanding metal deck fasteners

A.C.T. Understanding metal deck fasteners
August 4, 2024 at 9:00 a.m.

By Emma Peterson. 

From the right pattern to the right tool, there are a few specifics to get right when installing metal deck to ensure success. 

Metal decking is a key part of a roof structure, both for the insulation of the roof’s membrane and the structural soundness of the supporting beams and concrete. It’s known for having a high strength-to-weight ratio, which means the costs for materials and application are lowered for contractors. In the U.S. metal industry, A.C.T Metal Deck Supply is the largest distributor of this type of material.  

A.C.T. Metal Deck Supply prides themselves on serving the metal industry and community in a variety of ways. From stocking high-quality metal decks and accessories to maintaining efficient delivery and pick up systems, the client is always their priority. And their support goes even beyond just their material distribution network.  

An example of this is how they create resources for contractors, such as their Metal Deck 101 series! This series covers a diverse number of topics surrounding using metal decking, including an episode about fastening. In this video, A.C.T Metal Deck Supply’s Sales Manager, Michael Polizzi, walks the viewer through the basics of fastening metal decking to a frame. He explained that there are two primary requirements for this process, “These should be provided by the engineer of record. First, what is being used to fasten the deck. And second, where does the deck get fastened exactly.”  

To learn more about the specific of metal deck fastening tools and installation patterns, check out the full video on YouTube. You can also watch it on A.C.T. Metal Deck Supply’s website, both in English and in Español!
