To speed
forming and save time and money, contractors for
Star Cinema 16-Screen Complex in Council Bluffs,
Iowa, chose Insul-Deck. Insul-Deck is the fast,
lightweight, forming-system solution for concrete
floor and roof construction. It comes pre-engineered,
pre-cut, pre-labeled and staged for quick and easy
placement on site. Howard Redman who headed Star
Cinema construction for Redman Construction Management
explained, “Using the lightweight concrete
forms saved not only in material costs, but labor
and time.” Project Architect Dean Fagen also
praised Insul-Deck, ”The systems arrived quickly,
shortening time and labor costs. This also aided
in keeping the project on schedule for its opening.
Speed and efficiency are among the building method’s
biggest attributes. I’d use the system again.” |

Insul-Deck is the fast, flexible and safe method
to build a concrete floor or roof that saves labor,
time and money. Experienced crews are installing
panels and rebar support and pouring concrete
in one minute per square foot, cutting labor time
30 to 50%. Star Cinema, a $15 million, 78,000
square foot theater complex, was the second such
theater in the United States to use lightweight
forming systems for concrete floors and the first
to use the systems for stadium-style seating.
Insul-Deck’s patented process integrates
utility chases within the forming system, so utilities
are easier to install in the pre-molded access
channels. If needed, the Expanded Polystyrene
can be removed easily to make larger utility runs.

Insul-Deck offers a variety of insulation and
roof or floor thicknesses. Form depths up to 12-1/2”
produce deeper supporting ribs which allow spans
up to 30 feet with non-post-tension methods. Post-tensioned
floors and roofs with Insul-Deck’s standard
forms allow spans up to 40 feet with less depth.
The Expanded Polystyrene material also has excellent
insulating properties.
Insul-Deck’s patented process produces self-supporting,
steel beams and furring strips. Any type of interior
finish can quickly be mechanically attached to
the integral steel furring strips with drywall
screws.
Howard Redman, Star Cinema construction manager,
summed up his feelings about Insul-Deck, “I’m
really pleased with it. I’m planning to use
it again.”

No other process is faster form-to-finish than
Insul-Deck. Insul-Deck takes just three steps:
place, pour and finish. For pre-cast and pan and
deck, you need a crane and/or have to remove the
forms. With Insul-Deck: you pour it, you finish
it - you can take it to the bank.
