NEW Award-winning Floor Option

The New High Performance Floor Option from Yorkon

Following a two-year development and testing programme, Yorkon has introduced a new high performance concrete floor option for modular buildings with areas of high footfall and heavy point loading.

With a point loading of 7kN and a UDL of 9kN/m2, the new option is the highest performing floor for a modular building, and is fully installed in the factory, with all the benefits of off-site construction.

The Advantages

• Point loading of 7kN
• UDL of 9kN/m² (uniformly distributed load)
• A robust and proven concrete floor construction for modular buildings with high traffic areas and heavy, variable loads
• Highly durable terrazzo tiling option pre-installed off site in the factory
• Acoustic performance which meets the most stringent Building Regulations* requirements for both airborne sound and footfall
• Shorter programme times
• All the advantages of off-site construction - superior quality, less material waste, less disruption and delivery on time and on budget
• Six storey building capability
• Improved site safety and site cleanliness as the concrete is installed in the factory.

Ideal for a Range Applications

The high performance floor is ideal for a range of building types, including:

• Retail superstore construction and modular convenience stores
• Chemical and pharmaceutical applications, such as laboratories and process areas
• Modular buildings requiring the placement of heavy equipment or the use of pallet trucks
• Education buildings with areas of high footfall
• Airports
• Buildings where specialist flooring is a requirement
• Other high traffic or heavy load applications.

An Award-winning Design Option

The new floor option has already won its first award for innovation - the Building Products Innovative Products Award, which recognises the best in British building innovation, research and development.
