Hydronic Heating and Long Spans Add Up To A Terrific
Insul-Deck Solution
|

Insul-Deck
is the fast, lightweight, forming-system solution
for concrete floor and roof construction. It comes
pre-engineered, pre-cut, prelabeled and staged for
quick and easy placement on site. The new home owner,
Scott Martin, P. Eng. of Efficiency Engineering
Inc., was quoted as saying, “When my wife and
I started our design, our builder suggested that
we look at your product. He felt that the Insul-Deck
product would fit well with the large spans required
for our open-concept home. After checking out your
web site, we quickly realized the benefits of using
your system.” |

“It was a good fit with our hydronic, in-floor,
radiant, heating system as well, the Martins said,
“The in-floor heating is very comfortable.
In fact, there were a few times this winter when
one of the kids left the front door open. The
door was open for some time before we noticed.
The thermal mass and radiant heating of our floors
kept everything comfortable even with the large
heat loss out the door. The thermal mass has also
kept our home very comfortable this spring and
into the summer. We have yet to turn our air conditioning
on. Of course, we are also enjoying the benefits
of reduced noise between floors and no creaks.”
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.

“The first comment most guests have is about
the floors. They don't believe that it is concrete.”
Mr. and Mrs. Martin reported, “When we were
in the design stage, we started investigating
different floor coverings and ran across acid-stain
flooring (Kemiko). The acid stain is applied directly
to the concrete. We decided to go with the Kemiko
acid stain with a hard wax coating. We also cut
a tile pattern onto the floors with a skill saw
and masonry blade. Our floors look spectacular,
and with my wife and me applying it, it cost about
50 cents a square foot”
Any type of interior finish can quickly be mechanically
attached to the integral steel furring strips
with drywall screws. Insul-Deck is faster form-to-finish
per square foot than any other process.

“The majority of our lighting is pot lights
(a total of 34). These fit well between the Insul-Deck
steel strips (1 and 4),” Scott Martin said.
Insul-Deck’s patented process integrates
utility chases (2) within the forming system.
Utilities are easier to install in pre-molded
access chases (or channels). Insul-Deck’s
patented process produces self-supporting, steel
beams and furring strips molded into the ceiling.
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 (3).
For Insul-Deck you only have 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.
