Tectum Roof Decks

Bonitz installs and repairs Tectum roof decks for schools, gyms, auditoriums, and other large open structures where sound control and structural performance matter.

What are Tectum Roof Deck Systems?

Tectum roof deck systems are structural acoustical panels that carry roof loads while also serving as the finished ceiling. The panels are made from cement-bonded wood fibers, creating a rigid deck that absorbs sound across the entire surface.

These systems are installed as part of the structural and roofing assembly, typically spanning between joists or framing members. Our scope includes panel layout, installation, fastening, and coordination with both structural and roofing trades.

When to Use Tectum Roof Deck Systems

Tectum is used where large open spaces require both structural decking and consistent sound control across the full ceiling.

It is commonly used in buildings with exposed ceilings, such as gyms and auditoriums, where a clean, uninterrupted roof appearance is preferred without the need for additional acoustical treatments, helping reduce overall project cost. The system performs best when spans, framing, slope, and roofing are considered early in the design.

Why Use a Tectum Roof Deck

Dual Function

Acts as both structural deck and finished acoustical ceiling

Sound Control

Reduces echo across large open spaces

Proven Durability

Delivers long-term durability as an integral part of the roof assembly

System Compatibility

Works with a range of commercial roofing assemblies

Simplified Assembly

Reduces the need for additional ceiling systems

Finish Flexibility

Can be painted or finished without performance loss

Our Tectum Roof Deck Installation Process

1. Pre-Construction Coordination

Review spans, framing layout, and integration with the full roof assembly before installation begins.

2. Technical Planning

Confirm panel types, bearing conditions, and fastening requirements based on actual framing conditions.

3. Submittals and Approvals

Prepare and submit documentation aligned with project specifications and system requirements.

4. Installation and Sequencing

Coordinate material staging and install panels according to layout and fastening requirements, aligned with structural and roofing trades.

5. Final Review and Closeout

Complete documentation and verify installation meets project and inspection requirements.

Span capacity depends on panel type, thickness, joist spacing, and design loads. These need to be coordinated early to avoid redesign during construction.

Penetrations are generally not a major issue in Tectum roof deck systems when properly coordinated. Rooftop penetrations should be reviewed and coordinated prior to installation to ensure panel layout, support conditions, and any required supplemental framing are properly addressed.

Most damage comes from moisture intrusion due to roofing installation or maintenance failures. This can weaken panels and reduce fastener holding strength.
Localized damage may be repairable. Widespread moisture, deflection, or fastening issues typically require partial or full replacement.
Scope includes panel layout, installation, fastening, coordination with structural framing, and integration with the roofing system. Work is sequenced between steel erection and roofing installation.
