St. Charles, Missouri Patent of the Year – 2024/2025
New Rule Products Inc. has been awarded the 2024/2025 Patent of the Year for innovation in construction technology. Their invention, detailed in U.S. Patent No. 11891809, titled ‘Method for installing metal roof and floor deck to a structural steel frame’, introduces a faster, safer, and more efficient installation method for large-scale building projects.
This breakthrough simplifies how metal decking is secured to steel frames, a critical step in commercial and industrial construction. The method uses a pre-assembled system that reduces time spent on-site and minimizes installation errors. It also improves worker safety by limiting the need for complex positioning or manual alignment at heights.
New Rule Products Inc. has engineered a process that reduces labor costs while increasing structural precision. By standardizing connections between deck panels and steel supports, the system boosts consistency across projects and streamlines inspections.
With construction timelines tightening and safety standards rising, this patented method offers real-world benefits for builders, contractors, and architects. It reflects the company’s commitment to advancing construction practices through practical innovation. Projects can move faster, with fewer risks and less rework.
This recognition highlights how New Rule Products Inc. is reshaping building systems from the ground up – or in this case, from the frame out.
