Advantages of hollow care slabs:

• Can be used in a wide range of applications such as floors, roofs and walls.
• A highly automated production process.
• Smooth even bottom surfaces mean false ceilings can be omitted.
• Good sound insulation properties.
• Because of the longitudinal cores, weight of the floor is reduced.
• The voids in hollow core can be used for technical installations, i.e.  ventilation conduits, plumbing and electrical pipes etc.
• Short construction time, absence of scaffolding, high mechanical and durability performance, excellent span-depth ratio and good flexibility in design.
• Hollow core can be designed to meet different fire class requirements.
• Hollow core can be used with all types of supporting structures i.e. bearing walls, skeletal concrete structures or steel frames.
• The reduced weight of slabs gives savings in foundations and structures.
• Longer spans, less support, more freedom in floor plan design.
• Dry erection - only the joints need to be concreted.
