About Bubbledeck UK
BubbleDeck® is a revolutionary method of eliminating concrete from the middle of a floor slab not performing any structural function, dramatically reducing structural dead weight.
Incorporation of recycled plastic bubbles as void formers eliminates 35% of the slabs self-weight permitting 50% longer spans between columns. Combining this with a flat slab construction approach spanning in two directions – the slab is supported directly off vertical supports without any beams - accrues a wide range of benefits:-
• Design Freedom –adapts to irregular & curved plans.
• Reduced Dead Weight – 35% removed reducing foundation sizes.
• Longer spans – increased by up to 50%.
• Downstand Beams eliminated – quicker & cheaper wall / services installation.
• Load bearing walls eliminated – facilitates lightweight building envelopes.
• Reduced concrete usage – 1 kg recycled plastic replaces 100 kg of concrete.
• Environmentally Green and Sustainable – lower energy & carbon emissions.
