Holorib – the original
This re-entrant profile is used as permanent shuttering and tensile reinforcement for suspended in-situ concrete slabs in new and refurbished buildings. Supplied in S350 structural grade galvanised steel, Holorib is the UK’s most widely specified floor decking profile and can be supplied almost anywhere in the world.

Technical Data

Ribdeck E60 – more savings: less concrete
The advanced design of Ribdeck E60 brings a new dimension to the efficient construction of shallow slabs, allowing optimum composite characteristics to be combined with minimum concrete volume.

Technical Data

Ribdeck 80 – shallow slabs: longer spans
A profile with all the classic strengths of traditional steel decking, plus the advantage of shallow floors and 4.5m spans without temporary propping. Its use means lower overall costs and a potential faster release of capital investments.

Technical Data
Ribdeck AL – shallow slabs: efficient designs
Practical, effective and strong, Ribdeck AL is proportioned so that concrete is used effectively to satisfy the demand for lightweight construction whilst optimising the amount of concrete in those areas where it is most needed.

Technical Data

Superib - composite decking for Europe
Superib is a version of a long established composite decking supplied to mainland Europe.

The advantages of steel decking. Details

Steel – still the first choice. The 2007 update of the Cost Comparison Study on commercial buildings has recently been completed and initial results confirm that structural steel frame solutions maintain their competitive advantage over concrete frames.
The cost analysis partly explains the results of the Market Share Survey, which showed steel increasing its share in the key market sectors to record levels. The study proves that the competitive situation for steel remains virtually unchanged. With an economic case to match its sustainability virtues the outlook for steel in a sustainable world looks encouraging.
