Metal decking formwork for composite slabs, two-way post tensioned slabs and sacrificial formwork

What is BlueDeck®?

A faster and easier metal decking formwork system for use as sacrificial formwork, post tensioned slabs or with compliance for complete composite action, this system ensures smooth and hassle-free installation.

Manufactured in Australia at our state-of-the-art facilities, our BlueDeck® profiles are crafted using high-tensile steel, providing exceptional spanning capabilities for superior performance.

BlueDeck® is equipped with a distinctive blue antiglare coating, which effectively minimises heat and glare from the deck, especially in warmer months.
Additionally, the decking boasts a durable galvanised finish that not only enhances its appearance with a neat and clean look but also ensures low maintenance.
