Compliance with Design Codes and Standards (see technical).
Depth: 137mm
Cover Width: 930mm (wider coverage than D100)
Pitch: 310mm
Steel Grade: S320 (higher strength)
Gauges: 0.75mm, 0.90mm, 1.25mm steel; 1.20mm aluminium
Minimum Bearing: 100mm on purlin
Long-Span Capability: Spans up to 7.00m solid (6.50m perforated) eliminate intermediate support columns, maximising usable floor space and reducing structural complexity.
S320 Steel Grade: Higher strength than S280 used in shallower profiles, providing superior load-carrying capacity and reduced deflection across extended spans.
Wider Cover Width: 930mm coverage width exceeds D100 (700mm), improving installation speed and reducing material waste on site.
Exceptional Stiffness: Moment of inertia values up to 485.63 cm⁴/m deliver minimal deflection under imposed loads, critical for sensitive equipment installations and precision manufacturing.
Acoustic Flexibility: Perforated D137 (pattern 3327) provides sound absorption in open-plan spaces while retaining full structural strength.
Cost Efficiency: Single deep profile replaces multiple shallower decks, reducing complexity and total installed cost for large-span applications.
Proven Performance: Engineered and tested for Australia’s demanding industrial and commercial construction standards.
Large Industrial Sheds
Heavy-duty manufacturing facilities and production plants requiring long unsupported roof spans.
Distribution Centres
Wide, unobstructed warehouse and logistics spaces with demanding load and span requirements.
Aircraft Hangars
Large-span aviation facilities where depth and stiffness are critical for structural integrity.
Large Retail Spaces
Commercial retail buildings, shopping centres, and supermarkets with open-plan floor layouts.
Sports Halls & Recreation
Indoor sports facilities and recreation venues requiring clear internal spans without intermediate support.
Acoustic Control Spaces
Open-plan offices and facilities where perforated D137 provides both structural capacity and noise reduction.
S320 Steel Grade Advantage: D137 uses S320 steel (higher strength than S280 in shallower profiles), enabling longer spans and heavier loads with minimal deflection.
Gauge Selection: Available in 0.75mm, 0.90mm, and 1.25mm steel gauges; 1.20mm aluminium only. Select gauge based on span, load class, and budget requirements.
Perforated Pattern 3327 vs Shallower Profiles: D137 perforated uses pattern 3327 (27% open area, 3.3mm holes at 6.0mm centres), which differs from the 4546 pattern (46%) used on D46/D60/D100. This delivers lower acoustic absorption but retains higher structural stiffness for long-span applications.
Vapour Control Layer Positioning: When soffit is exposed on perforated D137, VCL must be installed UNDERNEATH the tray to prevent moisture penetration into building envelope.
Bearing Requirements: Minimum 100mm bearing on purlin. Ensure purlin flange width and connection detailing accommodate deck end geometry.
Deflection Limits: Design for imposed load span/200 and suction load span/150. Verify this meets specific project requirements, particularly for sensitive equipment or enclosed finishes.
Span Selection: Solid D137 spans 3.25m to 7.00m; perforated 2.75m to 6.50m. Longer spans may require larger gauge or dual purlin systems.
Coatings & Finishes: Standard mill finish, Colorcoat factory-applied, or site-applied paint. Select based on environment (corrosion exposure), aesthetic requirements, and maintenance budget.
Aluminum vs Steel: Aluminium (Rp0.2 165, 1.20mm only) for coastal, agricultural, or chemically corrosive environments. Steel S320 standard for inland sites; Colorcoat for enhanced protection.
