Collaborating topping

D.02Timber floor (beams and planking)

How this node works

Screwed connectors link the beam, through the decking, to a thin concrete topping: beam and topping then work as one composite section, much stiffer — the modern way to stop an old floor «bouncing» and add mass for acoustics.

Key points

  • Collaborating topping + mesh
  • Screw connectors
  • Decking
  • Timber beam
  • Composite section (timber-concrete)
