Floor Assemblies are available to achieve fire, sound transmission and
thermal resistance ratings that will exceed any residential
or commercial building code requirement. i.e.: 8" panelized floor panels will span up to 14'.
Common floor panel sizes are 12' by 14'. Genesis® Floor Panel sizes are only restricted to
governmental transport regulations and practical handling limits.
Steel Material Thicknesses / Gauges / Spacing
Structural Light Steel floor framing members are available in 6"(152mm), 8"(203mm), 10"(254mm) and 12"(305mm) sizes. Each of these
sizes are available in sheet steel thicknesses ranging from 20ga(0.84mm) up to 14ga(1.91mm). The ability to achieve varying strengths by simply increasing sheet
steel thicknesses or decreasing the member spacing allows us to match any floor thickness or architectural design requirement.
Integrated Features
- Pre-Punched Holes for Mechanical & Electrical Services
- Integrated Beams
- Integrated Load Transfer Elements (i.e. web stiffeners)
- Precise Stair Openings
Connections
Factory made connections include various welding systems, self-tapping screws, and crimping systems. All welds are coated with Galvanized paint
for added corrosion protection. On site construction installation
requires simple screw and bolt connections only.
Site installed sub sheathing examples / applications:
- Site Installed OSB or Plywood Subfloor
-typically used for the direct application of most floor finishes including carpeting, hardwood, ceramic tile, etc.
-self levelling lightweight concrete/gypsum coatings are poured over the OSB or Plywood by the builder for added sound performance and levelling
