Prestressed flooring
The flat slab and timber infill systems are the two main tried-and-tested prestressed flooring systems that have been successfully used in residential and commercial projects since the 1960s.
While each system has its own applications depending on design requirements, both offer a number of benefits, such as:
- Longer spans and load-carrying capacities
- Higher thermal and acoustic insulation
- They are not subject to rot and require minimal maintenance
- Efficiencies with speed of construction and reduction of site labour
- Tighter construction tolerances from a factory-made product
- Improved fire resistance ratings
While flat slab products work well with shorter spans and offer a flat soffit finish, the beams and infill systems also allow services to be hidden between the ribs or legs while providing better options for penetrations.
While we may specialise in these systems we are also able to design-and-manufacture other prestressed products to suit your requirements.
