The distinction between Type V(B) and Type II(A) CFS buildings is primarily based on the type of materials used in floor and roof assemblies. Type V(B) buildings use non-combustible materials such as concrete or steel for their floors and roofs, while Type II(A) buildings use combustible materials such as wood or metal deck with a layer of concrete or gypsum board. The other options (corrosion protection, size of CFS studs, and prefabrication) may be factors in the design and construction of CFS buildings, but they are not the primary basis for categorizing them as Type V(B) or Type II(A).
