Twinplan®
High tolerance SFRC jointless floors
The Twinplan® high tolerance floor slabs deliver all the advantages of our unique Freeplan® concept, but with the additional features demanded by the logistics sector to achieve high operational yields in very narrow aisle (VNA) storage areas.
VNA storage is an extremely demanding application for industrial flooring, both in terms of loading and trafficking high loads, and the extreme flatness and levelness criteria laid out in the relevant industry standards.
Early identification of product storage systems, likely vehicle types and movements are an essential part of the design process. These needs are then used by Twintec engineers to specify the most appropriate flatness tolerance and construction methodology.
Floors can be divided into two types:
- Free movement – traffic can travel randomly
- Defined movement – vehicles use very narrow, fixed and unchanging paths.
Most warehouses combine these two, but this should be clearly defined in advance of casting works in order to produce the most suitable finish for operators.
We work with all parties to correctly identify all of these requirements and tolerances, and then produce those tolerances without the need for remedial grinding.
Dry-shake Topping
All Twintec jointless steel fibre reinforced floor slabs have a Twintop dry-shake topping.
Twintop is a factory blended dry-shake topping incorporating ultra durable aggregates, cement and pigment. Available in a range of grades and colours (standard and metallic), it creates a superior hard-wearing surface with abrasion resistance up to 20 times that of quality powder floated concrete. The result is a long-life, low-maintenance floor for industrial and retail applications that will probably outlast the building.
