Additionally, the Versa-Dek® system provides support for gravity loads between the joists and/or beams. Once installed, the deck can also be used as a horizontal brace and therefore act as a diaphragm.
Versa-Dek® allows architects and engineers to have increased creative design options and greater flexibility than with standard decking since it fulfills both structural and aesthetic needs. Versa-Dek® allows a design team to specify a highly functional and versatile building element that will also provide construction economies on all projects.

Floor deck
Versa-Dek® XLS is a 51-mm (2”) deep, dovetail-shaped, structural floor deck that is specially designed with minor rib stiffeners and embossments that create exceptional composite action for increased floor slab system spans. The combined design of the stiffeners and embossments allows the product to achieve a shear bond for increased span and load-carrying capacities.
Versa-Dek® XLS has a UL fire rating of 1 to 3 hours in assemblies where the metal deck is directly exposed to fire (unprotected), and thus provides the thinnest floor slab depth of any composite deck system. Versa-Dek® XLS’s unique dovetail shape offers designers a readied surface with a smooth, clean, aesthetic appearance for various ceiling options, including textured plaster, paint and finished gypsum boards.
Characteristics:
- Dovetail shape (Figure 8)
- UL ratings from 1 to 3 hours (Unprotected)
- Lineal plank look
- Acoustical option
