Hody profiled steel sheets have a modified trapezium shaped profile of 60 mm in height and intended for constructing, so-called, ‘low’ composite steel decking.
The finished concrete floor is between 110 mm – 290 mm high and Hody trapezium sheets can be used on free spans of up to 8 metres over the bearing construction.
Hody composite steel decking consists of a specially rolled trapezium-shaped steel sheet which functions as permanent shuttering for the relatively thin and lightweight concrete floor. This provides an extremely strong, stable and fire resistant structural floor construction which is very cost effective.
During the curing process of the concrete the trapezium sheets act as the shuttering that transfers the weight of the concrete and the assembly load to the bearing construction. When the concrete is fully cured the Hody sheets, often with supplementary reinforcement, create a well engineered structural floor solution. The sheets can be provided with interior (KID) polyester or PVDF coatings in RAL colours on the underside.

HODY Assembly Manual
The sheets profile has a modified geometry which allows for an optimal pouring load and makes sure the combination of the sheets and the concrete allows for the highest possible load bearing capability of the floor.
The sheets have been successfully installed on new build structures, renovations, ground floor and upper levels, mezzanine floors, walkways, cantilevers as well as heavy civil projects such as bridges.
