RESIDENTIAL, DOMESTIC AND PRIVATE HOUSE SOLUTIONS

For residential concrete flooring solutions there are two types of construction to consider, ground bearing and suspended. Ground bearing flooring is where the floor sits directly on top of the ground and can include insulation either below or above the concrete slab. Suspended Floor Construction is a ground floor structure with a void beneath the structure to allow air flow and ventilation, so the floor does not sit directly on the ground.

 

The following questions should be considered when determining the best solution:

• Durability
• Strength and stability
• Resistance to ground moisture
• Quick and easy installation
• Can provide excellent thermal performance
• Can be installed regardless of the weather conditions
• Fire safety

 

INDUSTRIAL, COMMERCIAL AND OFFICE SOLUTIONS

Prestressed Concrete is also highly versatile product which has a wide range of efficient and cost-effective solutions; therefore, making it an obvious choice for architects, engineers and contractors in the construction of Industrial, Commercial and Office buildings, car parks and other projects / applications. Today, a building can be completely constructed using both structural and architectural precast and prestressed components.

 

MEZZANINE

Mezzanines are a popular solution when looking to optimise or create additional floor space or storage within a warehouse, factory, office or retail business. Majority of businesses ensure they maximise the efficiency of a mezzanine by utilising both the space above and below, for example storage above and offices underneath.

 

Mezzanine comes from the Italian word ‘mezzano’ meaning ‘middle’ and are designed to fit effortlessly in the current dimension of your existing building. Mezzanines are designed to provide an intermediate floor typically between the ground and first floors and can be constructed using different materials such as concrete, steel or wood. A popular choice is a prestressed concrete mezzanine floor which has a wide range of advantages including a fast and easy installation. Prestressed Mezzanines Floors are also the most cost-effective solution due to concrete’s durable and robust properties.

 

When considering a Prestressed Mezzanine Floor, the following questions need to be considered:

 

• What height do I need in my building to install a mezzanine?
• How many mezzanine levels can I have?
• Can I add additional floor levels / expand it at a later date?
• Does the mezzanine need to be fire rated?
• Do I need planning permission?
• What weight can I put on the floor to ensure the floor takes the load?
• What floor finish is suitable?
