Hi Tech Construction
Dura Slab is a fibreglass structural flooring
system manufactured using a unique construction technique that provides
an incredible strength to weight ratio. Two high strength fibreglass
solid plates are bonded to each side of a fibreglass mesh core material
producing a composite flooring structure that is stiff, strong,
light-weight, noncorrosive with an anti-slip walking surface.

New or Refurbishment Projects
Dura Slab is ideal for new constructions
but is also well suited for refurbishment applications to replace
old, heavy & cumbersome traditional flooring materials. The
characteristics of Dura Slab make it more favourable than using
steel, timber or concrete systems due to its lower weight, anti-slip
surface, ease of installation and absence of maintenance.
Health and Safety Compliant
Dura Slab is alone in providing such a
comprehensive list of Health and Safety benefits. Dura Slab has
one of the highest degrees of slip resistance ever measured for
a walking surface, especially in wet, oily and frosty conditions.
It is a fraction of the weight of steel or concrete and can be supplied
in 25kg or 50kg panel sizes. This allows a one or two man lift which
complies with health and safety regulations. This means that routine
inspections and repairs can be made easily by simply removing the
appropriate panels. This obviates the need for expensive heavy lifting
machinery in cases where access is limited.
British Standard Approved
Dura Slab is BS EN 124 approved. This European
standard applies to gully tops and manhole tops for vehicular and
pedestrian areas. In order to reach this approval a Dura Slab panel
74mm thickness and 1280mm span was subjected to a repeated load
of 83.3kN. The test was continued to evaluate absolute failure level
which occurred at 153kN.
