Open Web Steel Joist & Deck

Open Web Steel Joist and Deck systems are widely used in commercial and industrial construction for their efficiency, strength, and adaptability. The open web steel joists serve as lightweight structural elements that span long distances while supporting uniform or concentrated loads. Their triangulated web design allows for the easy passage of HVAC, electrical, and plumbing services, streamlining the coordination of building systems. These joists are typically paired with a steel deck—a corrugated metal sheet fastened above the joists—which acts as a working platform during construction and serves as a base for concrete slabs or roofing systems. Together, the joist and deck system provides a high strength-to-weight ratio, reduces material costs, and allows for quicker installation compared to traditional framing. This system is ideal for warehouses, commercial buildings, schools, and large retail spaces, offering structural integrity, design flexibility, and long-span capability with minimal support requirements.
