Following a two-year development and testing programme, Portakabin has launched a new high performance floor option for modular buildings with areas of high footfall and heavy point loading.

With a point loading of 7kN and a UDL of 9kN/m2, the new option is the highest performing floor for a modular building, and is fully installed in the factory, with all the benefits off-site construction.

The new option has been developed as part of the Portakabin commitment to leading the industry with ground-breaking design and innovation.

What are the benefits?

• Acoustic performance that meets the stringent Building Regulations** requirements for airborne and impact sound
• Point loading of 7kN
• UDL of 9kN/m2 (uniformly distributed load)
• A robust and proven concrete floor construction for modular buildings with high traffic areas and heavy, variable loads
• Highly durable terrazzo tiling option pre-installed off site in the factory
• Power float option pre-installed off site in the factory
• Shorter programme times
• All the advantages of off-site construction - superior quality, less material waste, less disruption and delivery on time and on budget
• Six-storey building capability
• Improved site safety

Ideal for a range of applications

• High traffic and heavy load applications
• Education buildings with high footfall
• Health sector buildings such as clinics, wards and hospitals
• Chemical and pharmaceutical applications, such as laboratories and process areas
• Buildings requiring the placement of heavy equipment, such as process equipment or the use of pallet trucks
• Sports applications such as clubhouses and changing rooms
