Unispan/Flat Slab

FLOORS
DESCRIPTION
The Unispan/Flat Slab flooring system consists of a series of 75mm - 150mm thick precast, prestressed concrete slabs with
a reinforced concrete topping. This composite construction allows clear spans of up to 8.0 metres.

SIMPLE
Most contractors agree that Unispan is a simple form of construction. Slabs are typically 1200mm or 2400mm wide.

FLEXIBLE
Unispan is easily adapted to any floor plan and individual slab widths can be custom made to suit individual requirements.
Service holes can be allowed for in the slabs. Please check with your nearest Stresscrete branch first.

SURFACE FINISH
The slabs are cast on a steel mould and the soffit is flat. This means that Unispan may be left untreated, painted or decora-
tively sprayed to match colour schemes. Painted surfaces may require a thin plaster coat.

SOUND TRANSMISSION
A major practical benefit of a concrete floor is its ability to reduce noise transmission. Unispan concrete floors are qui-
et and do not creak with temperature and moisture changes. The table below shows sound transmission ratings
achieved by Unispan.

CANTILEVERS
Cantilevered balconies and decks can be created by using Unispan to form the soffit of the slab.

TRANSPORT
Unispan slabs must be handled and stacked at two points, by, or directly beside, the lifting eyes.

ERECTION
It is recommended that Unispan slabs be seated 75mm onto the supporting walls/beams and bedded on wet mortar or
plastic bearing strips to ensure an even bearing at the correct level.

FIRE RESISTANCE RATING

Standard Unispan can provide up to a 1.0 hour FRR.

MATERIALS
Unispan slab strength = 40 MPa at 28 days.
Topping = minimum 25 MPa at 28 days (as required by NZS 3101:2006).
