Perth Precast BubbleDeck® promises to cut cost and construction time

Perth Precast is licensed to manufacture the worldwide BubbleDeck® slab system.

BubbleDeck® is the engineering solution that radically improves building design and performance while reducing overall cost.

It uses reinforcing mesh on the top, recycled plastic hollow ‘bubble’ void formers and bottom reinforcing mesh, cast into a 60mm concrete ‘biscuit’.
 

BubbleDeck® features:

• Design freedom – flexible layout easily adapts to irregular and curved plan layouts.
• Reduced dead weight – 35% removed allowing smaller foundation sizes.
• Longer spans between columns – up to 50% further than traditional structures.
• Downstand beams eliminated – quicker and easier erection of walls and services.
• Load bearing walls eliminated – facilitating modern methods of construction with lightweight building envelopes.
• Reduced concrete usage – 1 kg of recycled plastic replaces 100 kg of concrete.
• Environmentally sound and sustainable – reduced energy and carbon emissions.

BubbleDeck® has proved to be highly successful worldwide since its invention in the mid 1990s.
