DELTABEAM? & DIFFERENT FLOOR SLABS. PART 2: DELTABEAM? WITH WOODEN SLABS. CREATING LIGHT STRUCTURE WITH OPTIMIZED BEAM SPANS.
Wooden slab-systems are becoming increasingly popular in Europe and North America. Architects like the “touch of wood” in the ceilings, and the slabs are offering possibilities for very light structure alternatives.
DELTABEAM? with wooden slabs form an effective combination of three construction materials: beams made by steel, decking made by wood and a structural topping from concrete. There is no need for substructures below decking, the structure is very light and thus long beam spans can really be optimizing the need of columns. And last but not least, erection speed is FAST.
If the touch of wood is what you are looking for, DELTABEAM? with wooden slabs is your choice. Peikko has been involved in a total of more than 15 projects already, mainly in Central Europe but also in North America.
