PanelDeck |
|
|
|
| PanelDeck
is a proven insulating concrete forming system for roofs, floors
and walls that combines the strength, fire resistance and
dimensional stability of steel, with the insulating properties of
high-density expanded polystyrene to create a structural panel of
exceptional performance. |
|
| Each
panel is 24 inches wide and can be ordered in any length or
thickness desired without extra charge. The 22-gauge (8mm)
integrated steel beams run parallel at 12 inches on center to
provide the panel with self-supporting strength and a continuous
mechanical attachment point for drywall or any other type of
covering. |
|
|
|
|
 |
The
panels interlock with a user-friendly tongue-and-groove design at the
base of a 5-inch wide cavity that forms the concrete beam, or
"joist," which creates the structural support member of the
entire system. Rebar is placed in each joist, as required, and
shoring is spaced every 6 to 8 feet as required by an engineered
design. The thickness of the PanelDeck material and/or the
concrete slab poured on top of the panel determines the height of the
concrete joist and the unsupported span of the deck. PanelDeck
is available in a variety of thickness from 7 to 12 1/2 inches. |
|
|
|
 |
The
utility passages are 4.75 inches in diameter and allow for the
placement of plumbing, electrical, telephone and ventilation systems
within the panel without having to remove any of the forming material
or without impairing the integrity of the system.
PolySteel
has
developed a basic engineering design table, shoring guidelines and
multiple-span estimating tables that represent the most comprehensive
technical support available. |
