Offering a range of tried and tested acoustic profiles which achieve various sound absorption ratings from A–D.
Our acoustic RoofDek product range is available with perforated webs to provide acoustic absorption. Two different open area percentage figures are in general use. The percentage of exposed area is the open area divided by the exposed area of steel following around the profiles. The percentage of cover area is the open area divided by the plan area of the soffit.
All RoofDek perforated decking provides excellent sound absorption characteristics, our technical team can provide details of systems tested for both absorption and reduction.
The increasing complexity of roof decking projects makes any software aimed at easing the process very welcome indeed.
To aid this, Tata Steel introduced the RoofDek quick selector, a web based structural analysis tool. It allows a user to rapidly select the most appropriate deck for the application and structural requirements using a PC or tablet, including iPad.
The software provides an optimised RoofDek specification, and it also allows the user to choose an alternative RoofDek profile. The RoofDek quick selector page contains pre-populated span and load figures as an example, but users can then modify these to their own requirements to find the right decking profile for a given project. All calculations are carried in accordance with Eurocode 3 on one screen and may be printed out as a record of the design.
The RoofDek quick Selector augments Tata Steel’s suite of roof decking software, which includes [RoofDek Analysis Software].
