QUIET, COMFORTABLE INTERIOR
Minimized air infiltration leads to fewer allergens, improved indoor air quality, and no drafts or cold spots. High Sound Transmission Class (STC) ratings reduce the noise. A cozy, healthy, and peaceful indoor environment is made easy with INSUL-DECK, which also is perfect for in-floor radiant heating.
PROTECTION AGAINST DISASTERS
INSUL-DECK Roofs and Floors can be built to withstand tornado-level winds, the impact of flying debris, and fires. Elevated buildings are easily constructed with INSUL-DECK raised slabs to minimize or eliminate flood damage. Resilient buildings keep occupants and property safe.
LOWER INSURANCE COSTS AND UTILITY BILLS
Resilient construction can reduce insurance costs by incredible amounts in many areas and elevated buildings also qualify for lower flood insurance premiums. And in wood frame homes, a large portion of the energy escapes through roofs. INSUL-DECK stops energy leakage to significantly reduce the HVAC sizing requirements and energy bills.
DURABLE AND LOW MAINTENANCE
INSUL-DECK buildings offer the durability of reinforced concrete - measured in centuries instead of decades - with no risk of rotting like wood. INSUL-DECK is made from inert materials that are not a food source for insects and don't support the growth of mold or mildew. Remediation of water damage is much less than wood.

FAST & EASY BUILDS
INSUL-DECK Panels are lightweight and pre-cut at the factory to your exact specifications. Utility chases and steel furring strips are built-in. The self-reinforced forms require temporary shoring only every 4-6' and no stripping. Quick build-times reduce financing costs and earn revenue faster!
FLEXIBLE SYSTEM
Available in 7 manufactured thicknesses of 7" to 12½", up to 33' clear spans are possible (with typical residential live-loads). INSUL-DECK panels can be easily modified to exact needs on-site. INSUL-DECK is designed to integrate easily with any concrete wall system and is a popular choice for completing ICF wall building shells.
REDUCED COSTS
INSUL-DECK saves on labor (MHR of 0.04-0.06 are common) and uses upto 50% less concrete & 33% less steel compared to traditional concrete slabs. And by reducing the mass of the structure, costs for supporting elements are lower.
RESILIENT & SUSTAINABLE
Reinforced Concrete is strong enough for bunkers and all your resiliency requirements. Due to the insulating, thermal mass, and low air-infiltration properties, INSUL-DECK structures easily meet many energy-efficiency program requirements and are ideal for Net Zero and Green Roofs. Inert materials keep occupants healthy for the life of the building.
