fibredeck NO MESH FLOORDECK SYSTEM
Fibredeck is a composite floor system that uses a combination of Fibermesh micro-synthetic fibres and Novocon steel fibres to provide a 3 dimensional fibre reinforced concrete. Traditionally composite metal deck construction has utilised mesh fabric reinforcement. This involves the delivery, lifting and installation of wire mesh on to floors prior to pouring concrete. This method is a costly and time consuming use of equipment and manpower. Fibredeck provides a solution where reinforcement is mixed within the concrete delivered, ready to pump on-site.
Fibermesh®
Novocon®
Benefits of Fibredeck • The combination of Novocon Steel and Fibermesh micro-synthetic fibres provide a unique technical solution for composite metal decks. • Fibermesh micro-synthetic fibres are proven to reduce plastic shrinkage, settlement cracking and the explosive spalling tendency of concrete during fires. • Novocon Steel Fibres provides load bearing capabilities, increased toughness and long term crack control. • Independent testing proves that Fibredeck provides equivalent or superior performance to traditional welded wire fabric solutions. • Up to 20% on site Programme savings. • No lifting/manual handling of mesh reinforcement. • Easier concrete placement - no trip hazard from mesh. • No lapping and spacer products required. • No onsite storage requirements.

MetFloor 55 ®
The ultimate in lightweight steel decking for all multi-rise buildings
MetFloor® 55 is a traditional dovetail re-entrant composite floor deck. Its profile provides an excellent mechanical key into the concrete slab, offering a strong shear bond performance augmented by stiffeners located in the profile trough. MetFloor® 55 presents a virtually flat soffit and a relatively thin slab is required to meet fire design requirements.
Metfloor
Cover width 600mm
• Shear studs MetFloor® 55 has a wide trough which gives you great flexibility and efficiency when placing shear studs. • Composite beams’ fire performance Even for two hours fire rating, the top flange of the steel beam does not require fire protection when used with MetFloor® 55 composite deck.
12
• Under floor services Services are easy to attach to MetFloor® 55, with the ribs presenting a dovetailed recessed groove in the concrete slab at 150mm centres. This provides the perfect connection for service hangars via a wedge nut or similar device.
• Slab’s fire performance Because the dovetail has a very small opening very little heat is transferred through the slab if there is a fire. So when you design for fire purposes you will need a smaller slab depth.
