Termacol, the thermal light of prestressed concrete slabs

The new Termacol slabs in reinforced and prestressed concrete plate has a weight of 0.75 kilonewtons per square meter, which makes it the lightest market self-bearing plate. It supports the layer compression and 1 kN per square metre of cargo of construction without any girders. The total weight of the slab finished once is 1.83 to 2.66 kilonewtons per square meter based on singing. Incorporates an excellent insulation without thermal bridges, and get a thermal resistance of 3.4 m²h ° C/kcal.

You can be manufactured in concrete reinforced or prestressed, previously cutting polystyrene according to the length of the plate. Completely self-supporting, get a few large lights and has different options of singing.

The floor is easy and quick Assembly, being easily adaptable plate to the geometry of the given piece easy to cut.

Technical data

It is manufactured in widths of 1.2 to 0.6 metres, then adaptation wide minors is done comfortably in work by its ease of cutting, although it may come with presplitting from factory. Singing total (h) of the plate type is composed of the following parts: h1 cm layer of compression, hn cm precast nerve, and 'eps' of lower polystyrene.

The total load for housing is of 0.6 kilonewtons per square meter composed by: 0.2 kN/m2 of own weight, 0,1 kN/m2 of flooring and plaster, 0,1 kN/m2 of partitions, and 0.2 kN/m2 for cargo use.

With this medium thickness and this load of 0.6 kN/m2 can be comfortably reached lights of 7.5 metres.

Termacol has all edges of finished slab: from 26 to 35 inches, either by varying the singing of the nerve of concrete either varying coatings for polystyrene at its bottom.

Its lightness of transport and elevation make it more competitive than the alveolar plate, because you can use normal grúas-torre.

The reduced weight of the plate allows a faster transport and Assembly, getting easily about yields of 400-500 square meters per day.

The ends of the plate incorporated by its lower part a macizado to avoid polystyrene will crush the support. Once placed the plates and without sopandar, as they are completely self-supporting, is placed the mesh and the negatives, being ready to receive the layer of compression of 4 or 5 cm depending on the type of used forged.

One can distinguish between two types: reinforced concrete and prestressed concrete plate.

For the prestressed, block of polystyrene with thickness and figure you want in lengths of two meters is manufactured in the first place. Then placed the ceiling blocks on the track of prestressed one behind another, stretching steel cables and then tighten.

Once forged concrete, cut the plate to the desired length, piling plates on top of each other, without the need of wood including strips.

For its part, the termacol of reinforced concrete plate is made by placing the blocks of polystyrene on a bench, which already make up the alveolus of the plate. It is placed inside the necessary armour hormigonando later this space. Perform a last operation of vibrating machines being already prefabricated lever.

In single-family homes is used on load in terraced houses or supported on boards of formwork of one-way flat beams. It is also used to sanitary slabs or covered inclined with a large built-in thermal insulation. Its placement is very comfortable for the masons, as the formwork or girders simply do not exist.

The termacol plate is also ideal for slabs of high-rise buildings made with flat beams in situ. Encofrada once the main beam structure flat don't need any other type of formwork or safety device for the correct realization.
