Insul-Deck detail features
number onenumber twoUtility 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).
number threeUser-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.
number fourMakes 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.

SELF SUPPORTING CAPABILITY

Insul-Deck braced with temporary supports 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 ENCAPSULATION

Illustration of Insul-Deck with tranversal rebar 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.
