Over 30 Years of Engineering
Advancement
Construction System
Loadmaster is a roof deck construction system, integrally
engineered for today's building industry. 30 years of engineering advancement
has been developed from meeting every building design challenge.
Composite Engineering
Each Loadmaster Roof Deck Assembly is engineered not
only for the unique needs of each building design but to develop composite
structural performance among the components.
System Components
The flexible interfacing of 105 components delivers
well in excess of 5000 possible assemblies. Each component is engineered
and designed for compatibility and complementary structural performance.
- 61 Steel Section Options
- 2 Types of Insulation
- 2 Joint Tape Types
- 3 Joist Screw Options
- 2 Duraflex Mineral Board Thicknesses
- 26 Duraflex Attachment Patterns
- 2 Weld Washers
- 1 Compression Disc
- 1 Roof Deck Plate
- 1 Diaphragm Stitch Screw
- 1 Terminator
- 1 Duratrax
- 1 Duraclad
- 1 Duraperm
Twelve Configurations
The Loadmaster System has twelve assembly configurations,
derived from three original structures, with each having four options.
The three structures are "Basic" (Duraflex Mineral Board affixed
to steel), "Insulated" (Duraflex Mineral Board and insulation
affixed to steel) and "Dual Board" (Duraflex Mineral Board top
and bottom of insulation, and affixed to steel). Each of these structures
can be nailable, acoustical and nailable/acoustical.
Over 5000 Assemblies
Over 5000 different assembly combinations are available
within the possibilities developed from 105 component choices and the
12 assembly configurations. These will meet virtually all types of Building
designs, all model building code requirements and will function as a substrate
for all types of roof covering. For more information see the Loadmaster
Assembly Guide.
Finest Quality Components
Duraflex Mineral Board
At the heart of Loadmaster's superior performance is
the unique Duraflex Mineral Board, manufactured to perform as an ideal
substrate for virtually all types of roof covering.
- Durable high density core
- Dimensionally stable
- 400 PSI compressive strength
- Inorganic composition
- Fire Resistant
- Moisture Resistant
- Permeable (Perm rating: 16 min.)
- Fiberglass reinforced flexibility
- UL listed
- Compatible with all types of roof covering
High Performance Steel
Loadmaster steel sections are engineered to provide
the best cost/performance value and are manufactured to the industry's
highest standards.
- 80,000 to 33,000 PSI ultimate yield
- Polyester primer coated, galvanized or both
- Domestically manufactured
- Precise quality control
- Meets Steel Deck Institute and AISI design criteria
High Performance Insulation
Foam plastic insulations that resist moisture damage
are utilized because of proven thermal, structural and fire resistant
characteristics.
- Polyisocyanurate Foam
- Expanded Polystyrene Foam
