Insulated Concrete Roofs & Floors

Quad-Deck Advantages

Owners & Occupants

 Durable & Resilient

• Superior protection against disasters: storm, fire, flood & earthquake
• Very long-term building durability from reinforced concrete
• Fire Resistance Ratings, e.g. 1 hour with 3½" slab
• Significantly lower insurance costs in at-risk regions¹
• Low or no cost to repair water-damage from leaks
• No food source for insects, the concrete stops termites & critters

 Healthy & Comfortable

• Controllable indoor air quality incl. allergens due to minimal air infiltration
• Inert materials won’t support the growth of mold or mildew
• No formaldehyde nor VOC or other offgassing during normal use
• Consistent indoor temperatures without drafts or cold spots
• Less noise with high sound transmission ratings (STC)

 Sustainable

Lower life-cycle costs & emissions due to:

• Life-cycles measured in centuries, not decades
• High R-values^* & low air infiltration
• Reduced HVAC-sizing, heating & cooling costs
• Thermal mass properties are ideal for passive solar designs
• Perfect for in-floor radiant heating that's efficient & cozy

Architects & Contractors

 Light & Flexible Designs

• Lighter structure with about half the self-weight vs. traditional slabs
• Reduces structural requirements for foundations & walls
• Great for very high loads such as Saferooms & Earth-Berm Roofs 
• Available in thicknesses of 7" to 12½" for various spans & loads
• Up to 33' [10m] clear spans for residential loads & more with Top Hats
• Slab thickness of 3-4" is common, 5-6" for garage floors
• Easily integrates with ICF, CMU, concrete wall & beam designs
• Easy to adapt to many design-elements

 Fast & Easy Installation

• Quad-Deck is a pan-form with minimal learning-curve for suspended slab contractors
• Super-lightweight forms are easy to handle
• Delivered ready to install, factory pre-cut to exact lenghts
• Temporary shoring only every 5-6' with self-reinforced Quad-Deck
• No stripping of forms nor bond-breakers needed
• Space to run many utilities within the Quad-Deck forms
• Built-in furring to attach drywall & more

 Cost Effective Solutions

• Combines forming, insulation, air-barrier + furring steps
• No cranes or heavy equipment besides concrete pump
• Uses less concrete & steel vs. traditional slabs
• Minimal or no site waste
• Can lower workers-comp due to lightweight forms
