Composite floors are flooring systems that consist of concrete topping cast on a metal deck. Composite floors are typically employed in high-rise buildings owing to their remarkable acoustic performance. The use of composite floors provides a number of structural and other benefits, including faster construction rate and savings in foundation costs. They are used in a number of applications in including industrial buildings and warehouses, commercial buildings, stadiums, car parks, etc.
MARKET DYNAMICS
In recent years, composite floor systems with profiled sheet decking have gained popularity in the West in the construction of high-rise office buildings. Composite floors are suitable in applications where concrete floors have to construct in a short time and when a medium level of fire protection is required. The proliferation of IT parks, multi-story buildings and high-rises in developed as well as developing economies have generated substantial demand for light-weight flooring materials. The spurt in construction activities, development of residential as well as commercial, infrastructural projects is anticipated to drive the demand for composite floors in the forecast period. The availability of composite floors in various colors, ease of installation, and ease of cleaning and maintaining composite floors is likely to drive the demand for composite floors in the residential applications. The ability of composite flooring systems to offer stiffer, lighter, and inexpensive flooring solutions is expected to fuel the demand for composite floors systems in the construction and building.
