NEW Award-winning Floor Option
The New High Performance Floor Option from Yorkon
Following a two-year development and testing programme, Yorkon has introduced a new high performance concrete floor option for modular buildings with areas of high footfall and heavy point loading.
With a point loading of 7kN and a UDL of 9kN/m2, the new option is the highest performing floor for a modular building, and is fully installed in the factory, with all the benefits of off-site construction.
The Advantages
- Point loading of 7kN
- UDL of 9kN/m2 (uniformly distributed load)
- A robust and proven concrete floor construction for modular buildings with high traffic areas and heavy, variable loads
- Highly durable terrazzo tiling option pre-installed off site in the factory
- Acoustic performance which meets the most stringent Building Regulations* requirements for both airborne sound and footfall
- Shorter programme times
All the advantages of off-site construction - superior quality, less material waste, less disruption and delivery on time and on budget- Six storey building capability
- Improved site safety and site cleanliness as the concrete is installed in the factory.
*Building Regulations 2000 Part E
Ideal for a Range Applications
The high performance floor is ideal for a range of building types, including:
- Retail superstore construction and modular convenience stores
- Chemical and pharmaceutical applications, such as laboratories and process areas
- Modular buildings requiring the placement of heavy equipment or the use of pallet trucks
- Education buildings with areas of high footfall
- Airports
- Buildings where specialist flooring is a requirement
- Other high traffic or heavy load applications.
