Insul-Deck® Offers New Lightweight Concrete Forming System For Traditional and Post-tension Floors and Roofs that Saves Time, Labor and Money.
 Insul-Deck® is a fast, flexible and safe method to build a concrete floor or roof that saves time, labor and money. The patented system, made of expanded polystyrene panel forms, offers a number of unique features including self-supporting steel beams/furring strips and integrated utility chases. The result is Insul-Deck requires less labor and expense in finishing operations. Paneling or drywall screws directly to the integral furring strips. Utilities can be routed easily through the chases molded into Insul-Deck. The company’s expanded polystyrene panel system is priced competitively with other forming systems such as hollow core, precast, formed-in-place and pan decking.
Insul-Deck offers the superior sound deadening and insulating properties of polystyrene while delivering the strength of an integral concrete floor or roof. The lightweight panels easily interlock with a tongue-and-groove design, which forms the bottom of a 5-inch wide concrete T-beam or joist. Forms are precut to specification and delivered on site for quick assembly. Insul-Deck®’s lightweight system saves on labor costs. Trained, experienced crews can install Insul-Deck panels, ready for pouring concrete in an average of one minute per square foot. Standard forms create integral concrete T-beams or joists from 7” to 12 1/2” high for spans up to 35-feet long. Longer span forms are available by special order.
Complete Technical Specification Handbooks are available on-line for both Traditional and Post-Tension construction. The handbooks include span calculations for various rebar use and deck thicknesses. Go to www.insul-deck.org to register and download both the Traditional and Post-Tension handbooks.
Insul-Deck is the first U.S. manufacturing plant to incorporate Plastbau® technology. For more than 20 years, the Plastbau® flooring system has been used in a variety of buildings from homes, condominiums, hotels and schools to high-rise structures throughout Europe.
