Overview

Overview

A concrete roof deck that can be combined with other noncombustible materials to create 1- and 2-hour fire-rated roof-ceiling assemblies. The only cementitious structural panel approved by Factory Mutual (FM) - FM Approval Standard 4472. USG's Structural Panel Concrete Roof Deck can be applied with mechanical fasteners to serve as a structural substrate for direct-, mechinically-, or adhesive-applied roof systems. Structural Panels Concrete Roof Deck is an innovative technology designed to provide a structural roof sheathing without the need for thermal barriers, pouring, setting, or curing, which resolves the latent moisture issue commonly found in roofing with poured concrete.

  • Installed up to 48” on center over cold-formed steel framing, 1/4” bar joists, or wood framing, to create 1and 2 hour fire-rated roof/ceiling assemblies
  • Strong, durable concrete panel; great uplift ratings
  • Dimensionally stable; panel will not buckle or warp like wood sheathing; no moisture issues like traditional poured concrete
  • Lay, fasten and finish
  • Faster: Providing a dry construction method gives the ability to apply roof system immediately after Roof Deck installation
  • Meets the criteria of ASTM E136-16 for use in all types of noncombustible construction
  • Made in the USA
