Unispan floor slabs |
|
DESCRIPTIONThe Unispan flooring system consists of a series of 75mm thick precast, prestressed concrete slabs with a reinforced concrete topping. This composite construction allows clear spans of up to 8.0 metres.
SIMPLEMost contractors agree that Unispan is a simple form of construction. Slabs are typically 1200mm or 2400mm wide.
FLEXIBLEUnispan is easily adapted to any floor plan and individual slab widths can be custom made to suit individual requirements. Service holes can be allowed for in the slabs. Please check with your nearest Stresscrete branch first.
MAINTENANCEThe Unispan flooring system is truly maintenance free. The slabs are cast on a steel mould and the soffit is flat. This means that Unispan may be left untreated, painted or decoratively sprayed to match colour schemes. Painted surfaces may require a thin plaster coat.
SOUND TRANSMISSIONA major practical benefit of a concrete floor is its ability to reduce noise transmission. Unispan concrete floors are quiet and do not creak with temperature and moisture changes. The table below shows sound the transmission ratings achieved by Unispan.
CANTILEVERSBalconies and decks can be created by cantilevering the slab up to 2000mm, while including a weather step at the building line.
TRANSPORTUnispan slabs must be handled and stacked at two points, by, or directly beside, the lifting eyes.
ERECTIONIt is recommended that Unispan slabs be seated 75mm onto the supporting walls/beams and bedded on wet mortar or plastic bearing strips to ensure an even bearing at the correct level. first.
