<strong>Supercrete</strong> <strong>Structural</strong> <strong>Floor</strong> <strong>Panels</strong> are<br />

easily installed.<br />

1.1.2 <strong>Supercrete</strong> <strong>Structural</strong> <strong>Floor</strong><br />

<strong>Panels</strong><br />

<strong>Supercrete</strong> floor systems are available as non-structural<br />

floor sheeting supported by floor joists, or self supporting<br />

<strong>Structural</strong> <strong>Floor</strong> <strong>Panels</strong>. This design guide deals only with the<br />

<strong>Supercrete</strong> <strong>Structural</strong> <strong>Floor</strong> <strong>Panels</strong>. (see www.supercrete.<br />

co.nz for non-structural <strong>Supercrete</strong> Panel <strong>Floor</strong>ing).<br />

The <strong>Structural</strong> <strong>Floor</strong> <strong>Panels</strong> are reinforced planks of<br />

<strong>Supercrete</strong> <strong>AAC</strong>. They are available in lengths up to<br />

5600mm*, custom manufactured to suit each project and<br />

are available in a standard width of 600mm, but narrower<br />

widths can be supplied for specific requirements. <strong>Floor</strong><br />

panel thicknesses of 150mm, 175mm, 200mm, 225mm<br />

& 250mm are available, with span, load capacity, acoustic<br />

insulation, thermal insulation and fire resistance all improving<br />

with increased thickness.<br />

Maximum Manufacturing Lengths<br />

150mm <strong>Supercrete</strong> Panel = 4000mm<br />

175mm <strong>Supercrete</strong> Panel = 4500mm<br />

200mm <strong>Supercrete</strong> Panel = 5000mm<br />

225mm <strong>Supercrete</strong> Panel = 5500mm<br />

250mm <strong>Supercrete</strong> Panel = 5600mm *<br />

The cross sectional profile of an individual panel is shown<br />

in Detail SFP 1-0, below. Each panel has a bevelled rebate<br />

on one longitudinal edge and a groove on the other, which<br />

form a chase at the panel joint when the panels are fitted<br />

side by side (see Detail SFP 1-1, above). A reinforcing<br />

bar is laid in each chase and grouted in place to form what<br />

is termed a “ring anchor”. This laces and locks the panels<br />

together.<br />

The panels are supported on <strong>Supercrete</strong>, concrete,<br />

concrete masonry or steel end supports and can span up<br />

to 5.46 metres depending upon the live and dead loads<br />

applied and panel thickness selected. Span/load charts are<br />

shown in Tables 9 & 10, page 17.<br />

Many <strong>Supercrete</strong> Block homes in New Zealand<br />

have <strong>Supercrete</strong> <strong>Structural</strong> <strong>Floor</strong> Panel mid floors, to<br />

compliment the design and maintain the benefits of building<br />

with the same material throughout.<br />

Hotels, offices, apartments, restaurants, retail and industrial<br />

buildings have all been built in New Zealand with<br />

<strong>Supercrete</strong> <strong>Structural</strong> <strong>Floor</strong> <strong>Panels</strong>. These panels are ideal<br />

where the requirements for outstanding acoustic, thermal<br />

or fire insulation must be met, or where onsite ease of<br />

cutting, lifting and speed of construction are required. In all<br />

instances, these lightweight, low mass floors contribute less<br />

load on the building than dense concrete floor systems,<br />

often resulting in significant savings in ancillary support<br />

structures.<br />

* On large orders, 250mm thick panels can be made up<br />

to 6000mm. Refer to your nearest distributor for shipping<br />

limitations.<br />

* A minimum order quantity of 10m3 and order increments of<br />

5m3 apply where custom design loads exceed those given by<br />

the Span Charts, page 17.<br />
