Applications

For metal deck floors

TAB-Deck™ is a solution for completely replacing the welded mesh in metal decking applications used in multi-storey construction. Steel fibres are hereby contributing as well to the shrinkage control of the concrete as to the bearing capacity in hogging moment areas.

Numerous advantages

• Interesting time savings
• Significantly reduced crane times
• Safer job-sites as workers cannot get trapped by installed mesh
• Reduced storage space required on the ground which is particularly interesting in urban environment
• No heavy storage of welded mesh directly on the installed decking on each storey

Typical fibre dosage rates are from 30 to 35 kg/m³. TAB-Deck™ allows for fire ratings up to two hours. Spans can reach up to 4.5 m in function of the loading, the chosen metal decking profile and the slab thickness.
