ComFlor® 46
From the Panels and Profiles' shallow composite profile range
ComFlor® 46, first introduced in 1985, is a simple trapezoidal composite deck with strong and reliable shear bond performance. The profile is economic and nestable, reducing transport and handling costs.
Nestable
The ultra efficient nesting capability of ComFlor® 46 reduces the transport volume of the product. This fact, combined with the simplicity of ComFlor® 46, also makes it ideal for export.
Easy service suspension
Ceilings and lightweight services can easily be attached to the punched hangar tabs which can be included with ComFlor® 46. These must be specified at time of order.
Low concrete usage
The trapezoidal shape profile of ComFlor® 46 reduces the volume of concrete used, with resultant savings in structural and foundation costs.

Volume & weight table notes
1. Deck and beam deflection (i.e. ponding is not allowed for in the table).
2. Deck and mesh weight is not included in the weight of concrete figures.
3. Density of concrete is taken as:
• Normal weight (wet) 2400 kg/m3
• Normal weight (dry) 2350 kg/m3
• Lightweight (wet) 1900 kg/m3
• Lightweight (dry) 1800 kg/m3
