Hollowcore Units derive their name from the circular voids or cores which run throughout the slab. The units have a smooth finish and maximum capacity of 2.3 kn/sqm over a 16m span. They are available in standard 1200mm widths and in depths of 150, 200, 250, 300 and 400 mm. They can be used effectively in all types of building providing a fast and cost effective structure.
Typical Applications include:
Flooring or roofing for single and multi-storey developments. The long spans of up to 16.5m are ideal for most residential or commercial applications such as apartments, offices, factories etc.
Wall Panels – Hollowcore can be installed either horizontally or vertically to provide an effective wall cladding system, often used with steel structures.
Benefits:
Hollowcore spans up to 16.5 m. which minimises column requirements
Factory production decreases dependency on weather conditions and increases programme planning reliability.
Eliminates the requirement for costly excavation for ground floors, removes the need for provision/ compaction of infill material and provides an immediate dry working platform.
