Panels and Profiles

ComFlor® 60

The latest addition to the comprehensive range of flooring profiles by Tata Steel

The ComFlor^® 60 composite floor profile offers the ultimate in lightweight steel decking for all multi-rise buildings including car parks. It combines exceptional spanning capabilities with reduced concrete usage to provide a cost-effective and attractive floor solution that’s easy to install.

The state-of-the-art profile has been developed using roll-forming techniques pioneered by Tata Steel, drawing on our 20 years of experience in designing advanced composite floor systems.

Engineered with optional closed ends, ComFlor^® 60 provides excellent acoustic performance and fire protection, with no requirement for filler blocks. Its profile has been specially designed with trough stiffeners and side laps positioned to guarantee centrally placed shear studs.

The cover width is just 600mm, creating lightweight sheets that are easy to handle – delivering significant on-site safety benefits.

ComFlor^® 60 sheets are available with a Colorcoat^® pre-finished steel coated underside giving a durable and attractive appearance and minimising future maintenance.

Long-span capability
Optimised profile design gives exceptional unpropped spanning capability of up to 4.5 metres, reducing structural steel requirements and hence cost.

Reduced concrete usage
ComFlor^® 60 requires a reduced concrete volume for any slab depth, providing a more sustainable solution and reducing costs.

Enhanced shear-stud interaction
Profile design guarantees central shear-stud positioning to optimise composite action, reducing the need for on-site checking.

Excellent acoustic and fire performance
Manufactured with closed ends to give exceptional fire protection and acoustic performance, while simplifying installation.

Minimal maintenance
Available with Colorcoat^® pre-finished steel for durability and improved appearance.

Safer manual handling

With a cover width of 600mm, sheets are lightweight, making them safer and easier to handle.

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
