homeSPAN - Composite Slab

homeSPAN is a revolutionary concrete flooring system introduced into the UK and Ireland by Creagh Concrete consisting of flat precast concrete planks generally 600mm wide and 150mm deep. Designed and manufactured specifically for use in housing and apartment projects, homeSPAN is designed to carry domestic loading for spans up to 5m and therefore is a more cost effective option than other forms of concrete flooring such as prestressed hollowcore.

HOW DOES IT WORK

homeSPAN reinforced hollowcore slabs are manufactured to differing lengths to accommodate each housing type. These are supported by the internal cavity wall and span across the upper floor. Spaces between the slabs are grouted on-site producing a solid structural floor that resists differential movement. Electrical and plumbing services as well as insulation and Underfloor Heating sit on top of this solid structure, tucked away underneath a screed or Timber floor. Once the floor has been fitted, time can also be saved in plastering as homeSPAN has a rough underside to allow for direct plastering, suspended ceilings can still be fitted if the customer prefers.

A HOME FOR LIFE

homeSPAN concrete floors create a strong, studier home which is less prone to movement. An investment now will reap lifelong benefits for the family including noise reduction, increased fire protection and elimination of the risk of damp or rot in later years. If considering a concrete floor, you should discuss this with your architect at the initial stages of the design process so the system can be incorporated at the onset. On receipt of a copy of your plans, the homeSPAN team will provide a technical floor design and quotation free of charge. If you wish to proceed, the team will visit your site to take final measurements two weeks prior to delivery and then install and grout the floor within six hours, leaving a fully finished structural floor ready for your builder to continue work the next day.
