The Benefits

Here are the advantages !!

• Reduced construction time; by allowing the construction of the second storey to commence much sooner. The brick load of the second storey can take place within days after the Floortech Flooring System has been installed. It can take as little as 4 days to install the system after the ground floor brickwork has been completed. Conventional concrete slabs cannot be loaded for a minimum of 21 days from the date of concrete pour to allow for curing. You can save up to 3 weeks rent, save on site hire costs and/or get an investment working for you sooner!!

• The system is designed by structural engineers and is fully compliant with the practices and requirements of the Building code of Australia AS4600, AS3600, AS4100, AS1170 and all Australian Standards.

• We provide a full service from completed ground floor brickwork to completed suspended slab, including forming balconies and staircases and supply and lay of any concrete required. Hassle free and of the highest quality!

It costs no more than a conventional slab!

• Our system allows for your plumber to install plenum boxes for installing extraction fans; all your electrician need do is fit the desired fan in place, while the ducting to external air is taken care of by the plumber using readily available PVC piping!

• The design eliminates the need for obtrusive concrete support beams on wide ceiling spans. Conventional formed concrete relies on the cured concrete itself along with reinforcing steel to support itself between walls and often requires a downturn concrete beam for additional support. Floortech in most cases does not require this and can maintain a uniform ceiling throughout the home maintaining cleaner lines throughout while saving time and money!

• Ceilings are flat. Plasterboard ceilings are screwed to the underside of the steel support beams used in the system. A very good ceiling finish can be guaranteed. Our system is also far cheaper than skim coating and under slab cornice! Formed concrete slabs can be very uneven and it is not possible for the plasterer to get a completely uniform flat finish with a skim coated setting plaster.

• Built in channels between beams are ideal for ducting for ventilation or to conceal wiring and plumbing pipes. This means that dropped ceilings normally required to conceal plumbing on formed slabs are not required, as all plumbing and electric cabling can run through or between the beams !!

• Control of trades. All tradesmen that work for Floortech are trained and supervised to ensure that the system is installed to the highest quality. Conventionally formed slabs are subject to inconsistent tradesmen with the best quote, not the best tradesmen, often getting the job.

• Accommodates Complex designs in stairwells and voids, and reduces the need for expensive conventional 3 course thick slabs over large ceiling spans.

• Greater freedom of design as the placement of wet areas is no longer restricted, as is the case with conventional concrete flooring.

• Eliminates most dropped ceilings used downstairs to conceal pipes.

• Easily allows any future changes to the home with plumbing, air conditioning wiring and lighting that are virtually impossible with conventional slab construction.
