Floor / Slabs

EUROMAC 2 FLOOR / SLABS construction

EUROMAC 2 slabs / floor elements are steel reinforced EPS formwork designed to cast reinforced concrete floors where the EPS remains in situ after, acting as insulation.

The slabs/ floor elements consist of two Z-shape steel reinforcements (the same reinforcements has the roof) running through the dense EPS.

These two Z-shape reinforcements give the elements greater strength and provide fixing points for ceiling battens.
The slab / floor elements can be produced in any length according the project drawings and are manufactured to order minimising waste and excess materials on site. They are easily cut with a saw if required.

EUROMAC 2 Slabs / Floor Construction Advantages

Suitable for domestic and commercial buildings, new or old
Suitable for ground floors, intermediate floors and flat roofs
Increased solidity, installation in complete safety
U Values from 0.33 to 0.24 W/sq.mK
Great heat retention within the thermal mass of the concrete
Total suppression of cold bridges
Improved air tightness
Excellent impact and ambient sound proofing properties (minimum 40 dB)
Flexibility in design
Proven technology long lasting and low maintenance
Can be erected in all weathers. EPS is water repellent and rot-proof
Can be laid on EUROMAC 2 neopor walls, cavity walls or solid block/brick
The elements are cut to length, no trimming on site. Can span 8 meters and more
Under floor heating can be laid straight onto the EUROMAC 2 elements
12-14 sq.m of floor / slabs elements and steel are installed on average per hour
Is lightweight, can be laid without a need for cranes for heavy lifting machinery

Building Slabs / Floor. Directions for use

The floor elements are orientated so that the spanning length is the shortest allowing for a thinner and more cost effective floor composition. The total floor thickness can vary from 260mm to 360mm depending on the clear floor span and the required load bearing capacity.
The floor elements are delivered to site cut to length and are lifted into position manually, without any lifting mechanisms.
Plastic nails are used to secure them to the inner leaf of the EUROMAC 2 walls and the joints between elements are taped.
Steel reinforcement is inserted into the beam channels and held in position with chairs to ensure concrete cover all round, reinforcing mesh is laid over the panels on chairs to ensure good concrete cover. The elements are propped underneath with engineered beams and Acrow props.
L100/30 edge pieces are fitted to the perimeter of the floor to maintain the thermal envelope of the building and contain the concrete.
The Concrete is pumped onto the floor. The concrete must be allowed to cure for a minimum of four days before construction of the next level may commence, the props supporting the floor must remain in situ for a minimum of 28 days.
The floor heating can be installed directly to the EUROMAC 2 elements prior to the concrete pour. This offers a considerable saving reducing labour costs and negating additional insulation and screed. The floor thickness is also kept down allowing for additional ceiling heights.
