What Is Substrate?

Section or segments which support any applied loads on the steel deck.

How Substrates Work:

Substrates are commonly made out of steel beams and columns but can be created out of other materials such as wood and concrete.

Why Substrates Matter:

The surrounding frame or support structure gives the metal deck a platform to sit on.
