Composite floor deck

ComFlor® with Colorcoat FD®

Eliminates need for post-painting to provide great looking decks

Building Systems UK's Colorcoat FD® pre-finished steel is ideal for use as part of a ComFlor® composite floor decking system when the exposed soffit is used as a feature of the building's interior. The improved appearance and durability of ComFlor® with Colorcoat FD® provides a perfect solution for multi-storey buildings, such as offices and car-parks.

Colorcoat FD® 170 pre-finished steel has a tough satin embossed plastisol coating, 170 micron thick, with a paint adhesion and colour fade project specific warranty of up to 25 years and a design life of 60 years. It provides substantial additional protection to exposed soffits and offers great looking decks in both internal and external environments, with project specific warranties available for both inland and coastal applications.

Colorcoat FD® 25 is a 25 micron polyester coating that also offers additional protection to the exposed soffit. Intended for use in internal environments, it is available with a paint adhesion and colour fade project specific guarantee of up to10 years.

EN-Construction-Product-ComFlor with FibreFlor | ComFlor® 9.0.34 software

ComFlor® 9.0.34 software

ComFlor® 9.0.34 Software analyses each of the ComFlor® composite floor decks in construction stage, service stage and for fire resistance, under a wide range of loading configurations.

Design principles are in accordance with the appropriate parts of BS 5950 : Part 4 (1994), Part 6 (1995), Part 8 (1991) For design to the Eurocodes, the design principles are in accordance with EN 1994-1-1 and EN 1994-1-2:Eurocode 4. The design checks performed by the program cover the construction stage, the normal design stage and fire.

The slab may be propped or unpropped during construction and may also span over one or more permanent or temporary supports. In the double span case, the spans may be equal or unequal. At the normal design stage, however, the slab is always assumed to be simply supported between permanent supports. The slab is assumed to span only in the direction of spanning of the decking i.e. two-way spanning floors are not covered.

EN-Construction-Product-ComFlor with Colorcoat FD | Design support

Design support

We maintain a friendly technical help desk which is freely available to all Consulting Engineers, and Contractors to assist with all aspects of ComFlor® composite floor design. The services we offer include:

Design calculations
To assist the specifier, the team are able to provide design calculations, generally dictated by the construction stage condition, the load and span required for service and the fire resistance required for the slab. Our team can also help with specialised design issues such as point loads, requirements for anti crack mesh, openings, etc.

Vibration
ComFlor® composite floor decks can meet the most stringent vibration applications, such as those required for National Health Service operating theatres.

Software tools
Comprehensive ComFlor® Software is free to download here. The ComFlor® Software provides quick and easy calculations for different building categories, loads, fire performance, spans, vibration, point loads and line loads. Regular updates are sent to all registered users.

Supporting beam width
For all ComFlor® 46 load/span tables, the width of the support beam used is assumed to be 152mm.

Fire design
The capacity of the composite slab in fire may be calculated using two methods, either ‘Mesh and Deck Fire Method’ (mesh only and no trough bar reinforcement) or ‘Bar Fire Method’ (trough bottom bar reinforcement only with no contribution from the mesh and profile).

Specification service
Our ComFlor® team are able to provide a comprehensive specification guidance to ensure the correct composite floor specification goes into the contract documents.

In-house CPD seminars
Primarily aimed at Engineers and Architects, these free seminars last around 50 minutes, ending with a question & answer session and are delivered by our experienced regional teams. Topics include:
