Hollowcore Roof and Floor Systems

County Materials has gone to great lengths to offer you this exceptional product. Precast Hollowcore Roof & Floor Systems provide versatile and economic design solutions for a variety of applications - from buildings or parking ramps to other impressive and demanding structures.
Hollowcore's massive strength is unmatched thanks to pretensioned steel strands which are embedded within high strength concrete. Utilizing European technology in a climate-controled manufacturing facility, County Materials extrudes Hollowcore in 8", 12" and 16" depths.
Extruded 16" hollowcore can handle heavier design loads, allowing for longer spans. With larger planks, double tee girders and supporting columns are not neccessary to achieve longer spans. This means flat ceilings with more open space and greater design flexibility. Planks can be painted, which eliminates shadow effects and the use of drop ceilings or other ceiling treatments.
County Materials's engineers and consultants can help you determine which products are right for your application. They will assist in creating details and drawings that meet all applicable design codes.
MASSIVE STRENGTH & PROVEN DURABILITY
