  Utility
chases, steel beams and furring strips integrated
within form
Unique, patented manufacturing process. Any
type of interior finish can be mechanically attached
to the integral steel furring strips with drywall
screws (furring strips extended for clarity). |
 User-friendly
design
Insul-Deck panels easily interlock with a
tongue-and-groove design which forms the bottom
of a 5" wide concrete T-beam, or joist. Rebar
reinforces each joist. Steel mesh reinforces the
floor surface. Detailed engineering specifications
and load factors are available for a wide variety
of T-beam designs. |
 Makes
jobs easier for electricians, plumbers and other
subs
Utilities are easier to install in pre-molded
access chases (or channels). The Expanded Polystyrene
can be easily removed, if needed, to allow for
larger utility runs. |

The panels easily carry the weight of fresh concrete and workers.
|
 |
Workmen can easily handle the precut panels. This can eliminate the need for heavy lifting equipment further reducing construction cost. |

SELF SUPPORTING CAPABILITY |
Job site placement of temporary supports |
The panels are self supporting and easily handle the usual job site loads, like the weight of workers and fresh concrete. Temporary supports are required approximately every six feet. Installer is responsible for the design and correct installation of Shoring of Insul-Deck forms in accordance with the ACI (American Concrete Institute) 347-04 “Guide to Formwork for Concrete” or current applicable codes. Any variance from those standards must be provided and certified in advance by a Structural Engineer, licensed for the job site location and specifications. |

Rebar supports are required to allow complete encapsulation of the Rebar with concrete. The distance between the rebar supports should be approximately 40 inches. |
REBAR ENCAPSULATION |
Transversal Rebar support |
The transversal Rebar supports are formed by cutting away the EPS above the metal firring strips. Cutting is accomplished using common hand tools. This does not adversely affect the R-Value of the INSUL-DECK panel. |
