Application

For use as thermal insulation for suspended ground floors (over a sub-floor void).

Description

GDeck insulated beam and block flooring system comprises of pre-stressed concrete beams and GDeck GT15 EPS insulation panels. The silver infill insulation panels provide high thermal performance which are then combined with high density white EPS rails which gives GDeck strength.


Features and benefits:

  • Type R1 expanded polystyrene infill panels and load-bearing rails.
  • Light and safe.
  • Accurately moulded panels that interlock.
  • Simple installation.
  • Compatible with underfloor heating.
  • EPS rails offers support where its needed the most >200 kPa above the beam.
  • Installed in one single layer with precise moulded parts which converts the T beam to a structural I-beam.
  • Accurately calculated U values provided specific to each floor configuration with the guarantee of SAP assessment calculations.
  • Meets U values surpassing FHS 2025 requirements and U values <0.09 w/m²K.
  • Saves transporting fuel costs, carrying and installing an average of seven tonnes of blocks per plot and supports loads of up to 3 kN.
  • Provides a simple, no waste, interlocking system installed with hand tools only.
  • Psi strip supplied to reduce thermal bridging at the floor perimeter.
  • Reduces the operational carbon of a building and its dwelling emission rates (DER).
  • Supports simple BREL inspections and site audits.
  • No requirement for additional top sheet insulation.
  • Full Kiwa accreditation.
  • Meets the requirements of Code Level 6.


System components:

  • GT15 panel (230 mm deep).
  • Rail.
  • Multi-rail.
  • PSI strip.
  • Concrete beam.
