Vulcraft is your partner in the selection of Non-Composite Deck products. Vulcraft Non-Composite Floor Deck, also known as “form deck,” is perfect for areas that need an economical and efficient raised/elevated floor system. Unlike composite deck, which binds with deck to form one strong unit, non-composite deck instead acts as a form to hold the wet concrete until it is cured. Capable of supporting lighter floor loads in a residential building load to heavy floor loads in industrial settings, our non-composite floor deck adds value in multiple applications, and can be finished in ways that complement any design style.
Understanding Deck Designations
Whether it is a roof deck or a floor deck, the labeling of the deck is done in similar ways. Below is an example of what the parts of a designation mean.

2C & 3C NON-COMPOSITE DECK PROFILES
Used for heavier floor loads, our 2C Non-Composite Deck is 2 inches in depth, and 3C Non-Composite Deck is 3 inches in depth. A less commonly-used profile, it creates a more efficient option when used with composite (Vulcraft 2VLI & 3VLI). This product is the same as Vulcraft 2VLI and 3VLI, but is manufactured without the embossments. Panels for both profiles are 36”, and both profiles have multiple finishing options to get the perfect finished look for any project.
