One important concern of any warehouse manager is how to protect stored merchandise, especially in the event of a fire.

Metal Decking for Pallet Racking

Metal decking is now the preferred method for creating a solid platform within pallet racking. Historically wood has been the most cost effective method for decking. However Steel decking offers a competitive alternative to wood but offers additional benefits as well include the possibility of helping you qualify for cheaper insurance; Long life, decreases fire hazard, low maintenance, hygienic, easy to install.

Wood Decking

Open timber decking can allow flames to come into contact with the merchandise and allow a fire to spread faster, making it harder for the sprinklers to put the fire out.

Prevent Fire

Steel decking , however acts as a fire baffle preventing the fire spreading. Excellent for storing individual components, cartons, irregular loads, fire retardant and maintains integrity of overhead sprinkler coverage.

Perforated Steel Deck for Sprinklers

For those warehouses with Sprinkler Systems , there is the perforated Steel deck. Perforated to 50% open area.

Over the past few years the need/requirement to have a sprinkler system fitted in warehouses has become more prominent. Knowing that a solid steel deck would not comply with the fire regulations regarding sprinkler systems, DMD has now added a perforated deck to its shelving range.  The panels comply with the requested 50% open area to allow water penetration.
