The FORTRUSS EPS concrete forming system offers unparalleled benefits for creating aesthetically pleasing and durable colored or stamped concrete finishes. Ideal for heated floors, FORTRUSS maximizes efficiency, enhances fire safety, reduces noise, and can deliver insulation values exceeding R40. This versatile system is perfect for constructing floors, decks, and roof structures with clear spans of up to 40 feet. Dive into the innovative Fortruss system, specifically designed for residential construction, featuring a suspended slab design that boosts structural integrity and insulation.

THE FORTRUSS SYSTEM:

The Fortruss System is a permanent concrete forming solution for suspended concrete floor assemblies and roof/deck systems across various structures, delivering exceptional insulation value. The system comprises two main components: Deck Panels and Beam Forms. Both elements are crafted from high-strength EPS (expanded polystyrene). Beam Forms are further reinforced with galvanized sheet metal cladding, which provides significant structural support during installation and concrete placement. Additionally, this metal cladding offers ample surface area for attaching utilities and underside finishes.

Deck Panels, designed to bridge the gap between Beam Forms, typically 24 inches apart, provide extra service space below. Together, these components form the framework for a suspended insulated concrete slab, remaining in place to ensure superior insulation with a complete thermal break. The Deck Panels come in various depths, allowing engineers and designers to create configurations that meet specific span and load requirements.
