INTRODUCING.....
 The latest innovation in floor slab systems
THE CUPOLEX DOME
FLOOR SLAB SYSTEM
CUPOLEX FLOORS ARE:






Economical
Strong
Warm
Environmentally friendly
Professional
Fast and easy to construct
THE COMPONENTS:
 Cupolex units are interlocking domes
 Cupolex units are available in a range of
heights from 50mm to 700mm depending on
the slab thickness required
THE COMPONENTS:
 Beton stops are end stops which seal the ends
of the Cupolex units
 Beton stops are made to suit various Cupolex
heights and can be extended to suit the slab
dimensions
STRENGTH AND DESIGN:
 Designs are carried out in accordance with the latest
building codes including AS/NZS1170:2002
 For expansive soil sites designs are carried out using
AS2870:1996
 Each Cupolex floor slab is specifically designed by a
Chartered Professional Engineer to suit site conditions
STRENGTH AND DESIGN:
 Cupolex Dome slabs have undergone
extensive
 Over 6 million square meters have been laid in
Europe and the America’s
 Live loads up to 10 kPa can be accommodated
STRENGTH AND DESIGN:
 Auckland University tests carried out in 2005
confirmed that the residential 300mm slab is
over 4 times stronger than code requirements
 Slabs tested remained
elastic at loads over 6000kg
well above the 1300 kg
point load requirement
for garages
DESIGN & CERTIFICATION:
EACH DESIGN INCLUDES:
 Plans and details
 Specific Calculations and a PS1 Design
Producer Statement for consent purposes
 A schedule of Cupolex and Beton Stop
quantities as well as concrete volume is
provided with the engineered design.
DESIGN & CERTIFICATION
 All slabs are inspected by an experienced
Engineer.
 On completion a PS4 Construction Review
Producer statement is provided suitable for
CODE OF COMPLIANCE
ENVIROMENTALLY
FRIENDLY
 Cupolex and Beton Stops are made from
100 % recycled plastic
=
ENVIROMENTALLY
FRIENDLY
 Exact quantities are supplied to site
 Cupolex will not blow around or end up in
waterways
 Virtually no waste
ECONOMICAL
(MATERIALS)
 Typically concrete volumes and reinforcement
quantities are15 % less than conventional raft
slabs
ECONOMICAL
(MATERIALS)
 Internal mesh chairs are not required.
 Due to the interlocking nature of the Cupolex
domes internal spacers are not required
ECONOMICAL
(LABOUR)
 Laying the domes is extremely fast as each
Cupolex Dome interlocks with the adjacent unit
 Reduced reinforcing tying
 No internal spacers or mesh chairs to place
ECONOMICAL
(LABOUR)
 3-5 m3 less concrete to place for a
typical 160 m2 slab
 Service penetrations can be formed using a
timber hole saw
ECONOMICAL
(TRANSPORT)
 Over 100m2 of floor can be transported on a
single pallet
 2500 m2 can be transported in a single
container
