Zero 4, Plymouth
2007
Zero4 is a new city centre development with retail outlets on the ground floor and luxury apartments above. The ten-storey residential block will contain 120 flats, from one-bedroom studio flats up to three-bedroom duplex apartments on the upper levels.
The Slimdek flooring system was developed to offer a cost-effective, service integrated, minimal depth floor for use in multi-storey steel-framed buildings with grids up to 9m x 9m. Slimdek allowed the construction team to reduce the overall building height, and the construction programme was completed with speed and efficiency.
The Slimdek system offered:
- speed of construction
- open spans with column-free space, allowing for reconfiguration
- reduced floor depth, minimising building height
- a cost-effective flooring system
- easy service integration
- the ability to achieve complex grid patterns
- good acoustic performance
