Please open link for full details of the metek floor: METEK FLOOR
Metekfloor is an innovative light steel floor construction coupled with a fast drying screed. At King Edward's Court it significantly helped the rapid completion of the 4 floors in just 12 weeks.
The floor incorporates a Lafarge Gyvlon gypsum-based screed. This screed is similar in strength to concrete but is only 75% of its density and requires only 30% of its depth for flooring applications.
It also exhibits high tensile strain capacity, which reduces the tendency for cracking. It is self-levelling and dries in 24 hours. Tests at the University of Surrey have shown that the composite action of the Gyvlon screed and light steel lattice joists increases the stiffness by over 100% and dramatically reduces vibrations and sound transfer through the floor. A fire resistance of 90 minutes can be achieved.
