Open-Type Steel Deck

YX75-200-600 Open-Type Steel Deck is a professionally engineered, roll-formed profile specifically designed for composite floor systems in modern construction. This product serves as a permanent formwork for concrete slabs, creating strong, lightweight, and efficient elevated floors for multi-story buildings, such as commercial complexes, industrial facilities, and high-rise structures. Its designation, YX75-200-600, precisely describes its key geometry: a ​75mm​ rib height, a ​200mm​ pitch (center-to-center spacing of the ribs), and an ​600mm​ effective covering width once the profile is formed.

A primary advantage of this open-type design is its significant structural contribution. The deep 75mm ribs create a substantial composite action when the concrete is poured. The steel deck acts as positive reinforcement, tensile strength, while the cured concrete provides excellent compressive strength. This synergy results in a robust floor system capable of handling heavy loads with reduced overall slab thickness, thereby saving material and increasing valuable headroom. Furthermore, the open ribs, as opposed to a closed profile, offer exceptional flexibility for building services. Electrical conduits, communication cables, and small-diameter pipes can be easily routed through the voids within the ribs before the concrete pour, simplifying installations and avoiding the need for costly drilling or suspended ceilings.

Manufactured from high-strength steel, the deck provides a safe working platform during construction. The effective width of 600mm ensures rapid installation, covering large areas efficiently. The product is an evolution of profiles like the YX51-342-1025, offering an optimized balance of depth, span capability, and material economy. By integrating formwork, reinforcement, and a service raceway into a single component, the YX75-200-600 Open-Type Steel Deck delivers a comprehensive solution that accelerates project timelines, enhances structural performance, and provides long-term versatility for modern building needs.
