Corus - New innovation in composite floor decking
02 October 2007: 38 people joined Corus Panels and
Profiles for the launch of ComFlor 60®, an innovative
new composite floor profile that offers the ultimate in
lightweight steel decking for all multi-rise buildings.
Representatives from Corus’ principal installers,
Studwelders and Northern Steel Decking, along with other
customers including Prodeck Fixing and a selection of
structural engineers within the region, joined Corus at
its Tewkesbury site to see the manufacture of this new
structural composite flooring system in progress.
Adrian Bellingham, Business Development Manager at Corus
Panels and Profiles, comments: “ComFlor 60® boasts a
state-of-the-art profile that has been developed using
roll-forming techniques pioneered by Corus, drawing on
20 years experience in designing advanced composite
flooring solutions. Combining an optimised profile
design that gives an exceptional unpropped spanning
capability of up to 4.5 metres with reduced concrete
usage, ComFlor 60® provides a cost-effective,
sustainable floor solution. “
Engineered with optional closed ends, ComFlor 60®
provides excellent acoustic performance and fire
protection, with no requirement for filler blocks.
Additionally, its profile has been specifically designed
with trough stiffeners and side laps positioned to
guarantee centrally placed sheer studs – reducing the
need for on-site checking. In addition, ComFlor 60® is
now available with a Colorcoat® pre-finished steel
coating to the underside, offering improved aesthetics
and durability, ultimately minimising future
maintenance.
Matthew Smith, Managing Director of Studwelders Ltd.
comments: “Studwelders has a reputation as a market
leader in the design, installation and studwelding of
steel floor decking systems. We are therefore delighted
to be able to work together with Corus in bringing the
next generation in profile steel decks to today’s fast
track construction industry. ComFlor 60® is manufactured
with closed ends which helps to simplify the
installation, and with a cover width of just 600mm
sheets are lightweight making them easier to handle, and
significantly improving on-site health and safety
benefits.”
