The PowerFloor+ system consists of extremely strong panels, containing steel reinforcement for added strength with an anti-corrosion layer on the steel for maximum durability. The panels fit snugly together to form a smooth and strong floor, without the need to wait for concrete to cure and with limited propping. The interlocking of the PowerFloor+ panels with grout creates a full fire seal between panels, which – combined with Hebel’s fire-resistant properties – means it can achieve Fire Resistance Levels of up to 3 hours without relying on ceiling systems.
Load-bearing and spanning up to 5.85m without floor framing or joists, PowerFloor+ is lightweight – the lighter loads assisting to reduce slabs, columns and footings, and can be made to length resulting in less wastage. The PowerFloor+ system achieves excellent thermal performance, ensuring thermal ratings are easily met, and once finished it is able to be covered with a variety of common floor coverings, making it the ideal choice for residential or commercial floors.
Autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) is a solid yet lightweight building material that’s widely used in construction throughout the world. The technology to manufacture AAC was developed in Scandinavia over 70 years ago.
In the AAC manufacturing process water and readily available dry ingredients – sand, lime and cement – are mixed with an expansion agent to form a semi-liquid mix called slurry which is poured into a mould. If panels are being produced then steel mesh reinforcement will be appropriately placed in the mould before the slurry pour.
Chemical reactions occur between the ingredients causing hydrogen to form, which in turn causes the slurry to rise. This is called the pre-curing stage. The hydrogen gas then dissipates leaving extremely small, finely dispersed air spaces. This is the essence of why AAC is much lighter than traditional concrete, yet strong and solid with excellent thermal properties.
The solid but still soft mix is separated from the mould and cut to form the right-sized blocks or panels for the batch. Any waste is recycled. The manufacturing process doesn’t stop there however. The uncured AAC panels are ‘baked’ under elevated heat and steam. The blocks and panels are ready when they’re hardened or cured.
