Op-deck is a lightweight insulated floor and roof system. The advantages of composite metal deck concrete floors and traditional rib floors have been combined in this unique patented floor/ roof system.
This insulated concrete floor/ roof system (ICF) is based on traditional concrete installation but with optimal design and installation flexibility.
It is suited to insulated, high-load-bearing applications including car park roofs, intensive green-roofs and suspended high load floors including supermarkets, hospitals, etc.
An Op-deck system can be laid on supporting structures of steel, concrete, brickwork, wood, etc. The Op-deck sandwich floor panels function as permanent shuttering for a relatively thin reinforced concrete floor with a free span of up to 10 metres maximum.
Op-deck comprises a sandwich panel made from thin profiled steel sheets with PIR foam insulation. EPS profile blocks on the sandwich panel ensure further weight reduction and turn the floor into a concrete floor of the T-beam principle (concrete rib floor).
Both components, the sandwich panels and the EPS profile blocks are installed on site. The result, after the reinforcement and concrete have been applied, is a lightweight insulated concrete floor with a large free span, small constructional height and a smooth white (RAL 9002) underside of flat sheeting, which functions as a ceiling. It is possible to include under floor heating or a complete energy management system in the Op-Deck insulated concrete floor.
The Op-Deck System:
Thickness of finished concrete floor from 250 mm.
Low own weight (from 190 kg/m2).
Free span up to 10m.
High permissible load (Prep).
High bearing capacity at point load (Prep).
Flexible system construction.
Fire-resistant (Resistance to Fire Penetration and Fire Transfer) = 60 minutes.
Insulating floor (Rc > 4 [m2.K/W]).
Strut-free installation (max. 5.5m).
Simple and fast installation.
Easy logistics at the building site.
