What Is Form Deck?
Form deck is corrugated metal that’s used as a form for structural concrete. Metal form decking supports the weight of the concrete slab while it cures.

Form Deck vs. Composite Deck
Form deck and composite deck will support wet concrete, but there is one major difference. Form decking will not increase the strength of the floor. Composite deck does increase the strength of the floor system.

Composite floor decking has embossments in the ribs of the metal decking. The embossments bond with the concrete slab and create a composite floor deck system. This increases the strength of the floor without adding extra weight.

Metal form decking only supports the weight of the concrete. There aren’t any embossments and it will not become bonded to the concrete. Steel form decking will not increase the strength of the floor.
