Insul-Deck
speeds forming - saving time and money. Insul-Deck
is the lightweight forming system solution for concrete
floor and roof construction. Insul-Deck comes pre-engineered,
pre-cut, pre-labeled and staged for quick and easy
placement on site. |
 |
Insul-Deck
is the fast, flexible and safe method to build a
concrete floor or roof that saves labor, time and
money. This seven-condo multi-level development
is our largest U.S. residential project to date.
At final stage it will total nine buildings with
2-three story and 7-two story units. Experienced
crews are installing panels and rebar support and
pouring concrete in one minute per square foot. |
 |
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. The sound proofing Insul-Deck added to the
concrete floors and roofs provided the structures
with a significant selling advantage - Peace and
Quiet. Insul-Deck was used for each of the interior
floors and roofs. Additionally, developers cited
Insul-Deck’s energy-efficient insulation properties
for making the project more attractive to investors. |

Insul-Deck’s
Patented Process Integrates Utility Chases within
the forming system. 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. |
 |
Insul-Deck’s
patented process produces self-supporting, steel
beams and furring strips molded into the ceiling.
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. 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. |
