Comflor Decking, The Most Efficient Decking Profile Around The World?

By:


Architects, Designers and Steel Decking Construction planners around the world will no doubt be rather excited about the concept of the ComFlor decking system. Conventional for shallow or deep decks and probably the most efficient decking profile currently available around the world today.

ComFlor is the perfect profile for shallow decks, suitable for conventional composite construction where the deck is placed onto the top flange supporting steel beam while at the same time offering particular application benefits.

ComFlor in a deep deck span with typical un-propped spans extending to 6 metres and propped spans to 9 metres. The deck is contained within the beam depth, which provides a very shallow floor zone. This provides a minimal shape of the deck profile allowing for services to be integrated and the whole system provides inherent fire resistance.

Prodeck-fixing are able to provide tailored decking solutions for multiple deck profiles coupled with logistical, technical and documentation support. Prodeck-fixing's expertise and efficient services provides all customers with a complete solution, whatever the project requirements and across the United Kingdom and Europe.

ComFlor has many benefits over conventional flooring methods. Speed, Strength, Spans, Weight, Safety, Stability, Low centre of reinforcement, Fire rating and ease of Service attachments.

ComFlor has strength, with the use of steel frames in new buildings as one of the biggest trends increase globally due to the advantages that include facilitating lightweight buildings with long clear spans. Large areas of deck can be rapidly craned into position and potential for up to 400m2 laid by one team per day. Minimal mesh reinforcement and pumped concrete, the completed floor can quickly follow. Once it is laid the deck can be used as a safe working platform for all subsequent work with temporary props usually eliminated. The deck acts as a lateral restraint to the beams and acts as a diaphragm, transmitting wind load from the outer steelwork to the core contributing significantly to the stability of the structure. The efficiency of composite construction and displacement of concrete by the profile shape, considerable less concrete is therefore used than in conventional reinforced concrete construction, reducing both primary structure and the foundations. Composite beams use the slab as a compression element, which increases their stiffness and reduces their size, compared to a conventional reinforced slab which requires more depth, ComFlor saves with reduced floor zone and overall floor height. Due to extensive testing in the fire engineering work results if up to 4 hours are available with the use of light mesh within the composite slab. ComFlor composite floor decks incorporate systems for the easy attacjhment services, emitting the requirement to fix into concrete.
