Insulated Hollow Core Floor

Hollow core the hollow core slab has a variety of uses including floors and roofs for buildings and parking garages decks for piers and lagging for retaining walls.

Insulated hollow core floor.

Our insulated hollowcore floor units feature expanded polystyrene bonded to the soffit of the unit. Hollowcore systems are prestressed concrete plank that serve as both a readymade sub floor for a garage and a ceiling for additional living areas. They are ideal for use at ground floor level construction and where increased u values are required to meet part l of building regulations. Serving as a combined deck and ceiling system the planks erect quickly to reduce on site labor needs and are capable of spanning long open spaces to aid design flexibility.

No other building system accommodates creativity and practicality like spancrete hollowcore floor and roof building systems. Cast in place composite concrete topping is highly recommended to provide a smooth level floor surface that serves as a horizontal diaphragm when properly reinforced. Creates multi functional living and storage rooms. Insulates between basement floor and first floor living spaces.

It allows sound to pass through easily and is impossible to insulate internally. The insulated hollow core slabs floor is 265 and 200 high and can be supplied with an insulated laying support supporting lugs or without insulation for later insulation coating. Hollowcore floor planks are precast concrete elements with continuous longitudinal voids providing an efficient lightweight section. Continuous interior voids add structural.

The term hollow is a misnomer. When grouted the shear key between adjacent planks ensures that the individual planks behave similarly to a monolithic slab. Hollowcore precast columns and beams to the reserve at arbor lakes complex. The thermal performance of standard o reilly hollowcore floor slabs is 25 better in average com paring to the same slabs with open voids.

It is suitable for all applications and is especially popular in residential applications. Thermal mass effect thermal mass is a property that enables precast concrete floors to absorb store and later release significant amounts of heat. County materials proudly manufactures 78 000 sq. For the insulated hollow core slab floor 320 high it may only be delivered without insulation for a subsequent insulation coating.

A hollow core door is lightweight and inexpensive but it does have a downside. Highly customisable available in 150 250 mm variations 1200mm max width.
