Key benefits: ComFlor® composite floor deck range
ComFlor® is one of the most extensive cost-effective and efficient range of composite floor deck profiles in Europe and with a range of seven unique profiles enables effective and efficient design for any project type.
Light weight and longer than average spans help towards fast build times as this helps with quick installation and prop-free concrete floors and, most importantly, the whole range provide high levels of fire resistance from all ComFlor® slabs with zero soffit protection. Made in the UK, ComFlor® profiles are readily available for easy accessibility, full technical support from start to finish and free ComFlor® 9 software to aid design. Health and Safety is literally built into the range as our ComFlor® range of profiles offer quick, safer installation, and are fully nestable for transportation.
Sustainable floor solutions:
Factory produced with the backing of a robust Quality Management and Environmental Management standards which includes full traceability of all components and certified ‘Very Good’ to BREs responsible sourcing standard BES 6001.
Deep deck range:
ComFlor® offers long spanning capability between beams and can be used with integrated beams where the deck lands on an extended lower flange, giving reduced overall floor height. Services such as piping and underfloor heating can be incorporated into the profile zone, providing cost-effective, minimal depth floor construction. Low vibration design to meet the most stringent vibration requirements and again, excellent fire ratings.

Full design and technical support from start to finish
We maintain a friendly technical help desk which is freely available to all Consulting Engineers, and Contractors to assist with all aspects of ComFlor® composite floor design. The services we offer include:
Design calculations
To assist the specifier, the team are able to provide design calculations, generally dictated by the construction stage condition, the load and span required for service and the fire resistance required for the slab. Our team can also help with specialised design issues such as point loads, requirements for anti crack mesh, openings, etc.
Vibration
ComFlor® composite floor decks can meet the most stringent vibration applications, such as those required for National Health Service operating theatres.
Software tools
Comprehensive ComFlor® Software is free to download here. The ComFlor® Software provides quick and easy calculations for different building categories, loads, fire performance, spans, vibration, point loads and line loads. Regular updates are sent to all registered users.
Supporting beam width
For all ComFlor® 46 load/span tables, the width of the support beam used is assumed to be 152mm.
Fire design
The capacity of the composite slab in fire may be calculated using two methods, either ‘Mesh and Deck Fire Method’ (mesh only and no trough bar reinforcement) or ‘Bar Fire Method’ (trough bottom bar reinforcement only with no contribution from the mesh and profile).
Specification service
Our ComFlor® team are able to provide a comprehensive specification guidance to ensure the correct composite floor specification goes into the contract documents.
In-house CPD seminars
Primarily aimed at Engineers and Architects, these free seminars last around 50 minutes, ending with a question & answer session and are delivered by our experienced regional teams. Topics include:
- Composite floor decking in construction.
- Structural roof decking in construction.
- Steel building envelope systems for non-domestic buildings.
- Factory tour – Insulated Panel Line at Shotton works.

Using the ComFlor software is an efficient way to determine suitable solutions for your flooring needs. Click here to download.
The software enables you to enter profile, spans, slab depth, loadings (including line loads and point loads) and fire requirements plus can check for additional reinforcement, propping or using fibres, giving you a several page output confirming the suitability of your design.
Design principles are in accordance with the appropriate parts of BS 5950 : Part 4 (1994), Part 6 (1995), Part 8 (1991) For design to the Eurocodes, the design principles are in accordance with EN 1994-1-1 and EN 1994-1-2:Eurocode 4. The design checks performed by the program cover the construction stage, the normal design stage and fire.
