Arval floor systems Arval floor systems serve they resist construction loads they are simple and quick to lay, and the easy cutting and quick contributes to site productivity. Arval floor systems, once in place, present an underside with a finished, clean, sealed appearance which can be left • galvanised underside: this is ideal for intermediate floors in ventilated buildings • precoated underside: the prelacquered coat improves resistance to corrosion, prevents surface and gives the underside a decorative appearance. This where the soffit is exposed where they bring light Arval floor...

A floor bringing safety The laying of Arval floor systems creates a continuous working platform that allows site workers to walk over several complete straight away. The floor can be safely walked Overall savings Implementing factory-produced industrial systems using acknowledged speed of laying brings substantial savings in terms of construction costs concrete floor. The hollows between ribs reduce concrete consumption to a solid concrete slab. The lightness of the Arval floor systems provides structural savings, and also enables easier Fire behaviour 3 hours. Actual fire tests performed...

Arval floor system Arval benefits from acknowledged manufacturer of floor systems for offers the most comprehensive range available on the market. of three decades of experience in this field, with know-how systems but also in the quality have completed many international projects. A range of solutions adapted Arval floor systems are made galvanised-precoated decks. These profiles, carefully combined with materials such acoustic-insulation, plaster, and wood, form advanced construction systems intended where their effectiveness Arval floor systems are used in all girder structures or...

SYSTEM OFFER ■ FLOORS ON SELF-SUPPORTING FORMWORK Cofrasol floors are made up of steel decks used to provide concrete when it is poured. Cofrasol floors are made up of steel decks used to provide concrete when it is poured. permanent formwork, the deck is only stressed during the construction stage. It receives the poured concrete and bears its weight until the concrete sets. Then, the applied loads are borne exclusively by the reinforced concrete slab which is therefore designed The steel deck is self-supporting and is no longer taken into account in the final floor Cofrasol floors are...

SYSTEM OFFER Composite floor systems combine the beneficial features of steel and concrete. Steel is an excellent material for working under tension material for working under compressive stress. If the steel deck is made with embossments, these make the concrete slab and the steel they work together to produce the floor. We therefore refer to composite floors or slabs. A composite floor is designed stage, and then the composite stage. During the assembly the deck is used as self- provides a working platform. In the composite stage, the deck is structurally combined with hardened concrete...

SYSTEM OFFER Open-rib composite floor decks: These are made up of two open-rib trapezoidal and nestable decks with embossments for easy storage and transportation. Cofraplus is the best solution for most uses involving spans up to 4.5 m. Cofraplus 60 guarantees economical transportation and quick installation. The deck is manufactured from 0.75mm gauge steel and is designed without props over 2 continuous bays, and slab thicknesses Cofraplus 77 benefits from the advantages of the Cofraplus range and takes its performance further. • It exceeds unpropped spans over two continuous bays • At an...

SYSTEM OFFER Re-entrant-ribs composite floors decks: cofrastra The Cofrastra family consists of two re-entrant notched rib decks to tightly and integrally join the steel and concrete: Dove-tail shaped re-entrant ribs: • can provide anchor lines for suspending ceilings and technical networks using Cofrafix clips fixed • create a very strong bond with the concrete. Cofrastra can support substantial live loads • is used to lay very thin (8 cm) or thick (20 cm) floors as it covers practically the entire field of construction with light and heavy • easy to anchor ceilings using special clips...
