Hollowcore Concrete Flooring

Hollowcore floor planks are precast concrete elements with continuous longitudinal voids providing an efficient lightweight section. Please click here for details of Finishes and Service Runs.

When grouted, the effective shear key between adjacent Hollowcore planks ensures that the individual planks behave similarly to a monolithic slab. Hollowcore planks may be used to produce a diaphragm to resist horizontal forces, either with or without a structural topping. Hollowcore planks, supported on masonry or steel can be used in domestic, commercial and industrial applications.

Design
All Hollowcore planks are designed to the requirements of BS 8110. Standard Hollowcore planks have a minimum fire resistance of 1 hour. Units are manufactured to the following nominal depths 150mm, 200mm, 250mm and 300mm.

Drawings
We will provide layout drawings for the floor units prior to manufacture. These drawings show the structure supporting the precast units, position of service entries etc., typical sections and the loads for which the floor is designed.

Quality
Quality is the prime concern of designers, developers, builders and ultimately homeowners. The robustness of a concrete floor adds to the quality of a house. Concrete floors act as a thermal store, this can reduce heating costs especially when under-floor heating systems are used.
