Hollow Core Slabs (HCR) – A Ready Floor in Just a Few Hours
Prefabricated Hollow Core Slabs (HCR) technology is designed for maximum speed and efficiency on the construction site. These ready-made concrete slabs, featuring characteristic openings (cores) running along their entire length, are delivered to the site and installed directly from the truck. Within just a few hours, they create a fully load-bearing and safe floor barrier, ready for further works.
Key Benefits:
-
Express Assembly and Immediate Load-Bearing Capacity: This is the greatest advantage of HCR slabs. Immediately after the slabs are laid, they can be walked on, and the erection of the next story can commence. This completely eliminates technological downtimes for concrete curing and formwork, radically accelerating the schedule of the entire investment.
-
Integrated Heating and Electrical Systems: The cores inside the slabs create an ideal, protected space for routing installations. Upon client request, we can factory-prepare the slabs with embedded electrical conduits and even underfloor heating pipes, turning the floor into an efficient and invisible heating system.
-
Lightness and Structural Optimization: Thanks to the cores, HCR slabs are significantly lighter than solid slabs of the same thickness (up to $24 \text{ cm}$). This allows for a reduction in the loads transferred to the foundations and other structural elements, optimizing the cost of the entire investment.
Additional Customization Possibilities:
In addition to integrating installations, HCR slabs also offer full flexibility in adapting to the design, including:
-
Possibility of precise cutting in width and at an angle.
-
Execution of installation openings in designated locations.
-
Choice of surface finish (smooth or rough).
Applications:
The speed of assembly and immediate load-bearing capacity make HCR slabs indispensable in construction where time and efficiency are critical:
-
Multi-family residential construction,
-
Terraced housing and single-family housing estates,
-
Office buildings and commercial properties,
-
Public utility buildings.
