Quad-Deck Joist and Deck Forming System for Floors, Roofs, and
Tilt-Up
Quad-Deck uses Plastbau® Technology to create an energy efficient and
quality insulating concrete floor or roof system. Ideal for use in both
commercial and residential construction, Quad-Deck combines the
strength, security, and reliability of concrete with the energy
efficiency, design flexibility and comfort of insulating concrete forms.
Each of the expanded polystyrene (EPS) panels are supported and
reinforced with two integral steel beams molded into the product from
end to end. The result is a self-supporting joist and deck forming
system that provides the maximum strength of a reinforced concrete deck
with a minimum of materials and labor. Contact us today to find out about using Quad-Deck for your next project.
