BENEFITS
Benefits of building with a
floortech slab
Thanks to the innovative steel truss system, you get more room underneath your floors to work with, allowing you to lay more services in more complex designs. Unlike conventional concrete flooring, this provides the possibility that should your client change their mind on their lighting or electrics, you can simply move the services around under the floor without re-engineering the design of the building. You don’t have to limit your services, either, meaning you don’t have to resort to installing unsightly bulkheads.
Floortech is a faster construction option. Once the ground floor brickwork has been completed, a Floortech flooring system can be installed in as little as four days. The brick load of the second storey can take place just a few days later. Compare this to conventional concrete slabs, which can’t be loaded for a minimum of 21 days. You can restart construction of upper walls up to three weeks sooner.
It streamlines your projects, too. The Floortech flooring system is a one-stop-shop, requiring fewer trades on site, so it’s easier to manage and schedule your construction.

BENEFITS OF BUILDING WITH A FLOORTECH SLAB
Reduced construction time
Once the ground floor brickwork has been completed, the FloorTech Flooring System can be installed in as little as four days. With a FloorTech Flooring System, you can finish off and move on to your next job up to three weeks sooner.
Tradesmen friendly
Our system allows plumbers to install plenum boxes for installing extraction fans; all the electrician needs 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.
More design options
Unlike a conventional slab, there’s no need for a false ceiling with a FloorTech system, so you can place wet areas (bathrooms, toilets) anywhere in the upper floor.
Fully compliant
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.
Prop Supports
Unlike Conventional Slab. Floortech has minimal or NO Prop Supports. This means work (such as plastering / wirings) can continue under the floor immediately.
Better finish
FloorTech’s design means no cover mouldings are required to hide the slab edge. This is especially noticeable in stair voids, which often look unsightly.
Complete service
We provide a full service from completed ground floor brickwork to completed suspended slab, including forming balconies and staircases and the supply and lay of all concrete required. A FloorTech system is hassle free and of the highest quality.
Open plan
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.
Less noise
he topping of FloorTech concrete over the fully engineered strong subframe is very effective in reducing any audible noise transfer. It is estimated the STC (Sound Transfer Coefficient) of FloorTech is 50-55, which exceeds the requirement of the Building Code of Australia.
Cost effective.
It costs no more than a conventional slab but has loads more benefits..
Flexible
Future changes to wiring and lighting are possible after construction. This includes recessed lighting that is virtually impossible to alter with other types of contruction.
