What Is Tongue and Groove Roof Decking?
Most General Contractors, Architects, and Engineers we work with are accustomed to seeing tongue and groove roof decking as the structure that aesthetically enhances a cathedral ceiling. However, we believe that this type of roof-decking has structural appeal in its own right. With high quality tongue and groove roof-decking our customers receive a product that is both structural and aesthetically pleasing.
What Are My Roof Decking Options?
We offer tongue and groove roof-decking in many different species, such as Western Red Cedar, Douglas Fir, Spruce Pine Fir, and Southern Yellow Pine. All of these options are offered in a range of nominal thicknesses. Other options include:
- Surface or wire brushed
- Solid or laminated
- Random lengths or specific lengths
- End matched or square end
- Edge āVā on one side
When supplying commercial General Contractors with roof decking, we follow the guidelines laid out by the American Institute of Timber Construction. When determining the length of your decking pieces, the AITC lays out strict guidelines about controlled random layup. Here are the standards for two-inch decking:
- Not less than 40% to be 14 ft. and longer
- Not more than 10% to be less than 10 ft.
- Not more than 1% to be 4 ā 5 ft.
- Minimum length is limited to 75% of the span length
