The composite design of Ecospan allows for longer span, lightweight shallow joists that offer greater rigidity. Wide joist spacing and open web design provide easy access for HVAC, plumbing, and electrical design and installation.
The system uses a unique, patented screw-down shear connector, Shearflex, which takes three to six seconds time to install with a specially designed manual tool included with the system.
With regard to installation, it uses standard steel joist and deck components so there is no learning curve for steel erectors.
Vulcraft’s Ecospan composite floor system uses 99% recycled material in the joists and 70% recycled material in the decking, the company reports. It makes structural floor system be easy to install, cost-effective and green.
