FUTUREBUILD® LVL TCC Floors

Timber Concrete Composite (TCC) Floors represent a move to optimise the advantages of both Futurebuild Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL) beams and a concrete screed/slab, combined using defined connection methods to provide composite action.
Technology that was introduced to New Zealand in 2012, concrete screeds have been added to timber floors for decades in Europe, where the natural weight of concrete has been used to provide acoustic benefits. A natural progression was to provide a structural connection between the screed and the timber joists, allowing for an optimised structural solution with inherent acoustic and fire benefits.
Features & Benefits
- Concrete screed for enhanced acoustic attenuation*
- LVL for strength, stiffness and inherent fire resistance*
- computeIT® design software for performance optimisation
- Established, tested and proven performance
- Lightweight, enabling use of conventional timber framing support*
- Easy to install
- Cost effective*
- LVL products offer low variability and high reliability
- Futurebuild® LVL used in TCC Floors is manufactured from sustainably-grown New Zealand radiata pine
* Subject to design consideration.
