Concrete Roofs & Floors with Quad-Deck Insulating Forms

Concrete Placement for Roofs & Floors on lightweight, insulating concrete forms. 4,200 sqft [420 sq. m.] of Quad-Deck on the main floor used ten full truckloads of concrete, placed in about 2.5 hours (about 15 minutes per truck). See www.quaddeck.com
Quad-Deck™ Concrete Roofs & Floors create truly comfortable, healthy, and bunker-strong buildings with lower Total Cost of Ownership when combined with ICF walls. Customers report insurance discounts of up to 85% for such resilient and durable buildings in high-risk areas. Quad-Deck™ expanded polystyrene (EPS) panels are reinforced with two integral steel beams molded into the product from end to end. The result is a self-supporting joist and slab forming system that provides the maximum strength of a reinforced concrete deck with a minimum of materials and labor.
