A: It is typical carpentry tools which you can find on Recommended Tools Sheet (SCP298287).

For a list of the fasteners recommended with STRUCTO-CRETE® Panels, reference our Recommended Fasteners Sheet (SCP297586).

A: STRUCTO-CRETE® Panels can be supported by 18 ga. (43 mil.) or higher Cold-Formed Steel framing, SPF lumber, or Hot-Rolled Steel framing.

Typical span:

• Subfloor: 12", 16", 24"
• Roof Deck: 12", 16", 24", 32", 48"

A: STRUCTO-CRETE® Panels are:

• 3/4" thick
• 4' x 8'; 4' x 6'; 4' x 6'-8" panels^A
• Pallet: 20 panels^B
• Edge: T&G^C
  
  

1. Panels can be custom cut
2. Can be requested to have 10 panels per pallet.
3. Can also be Square Edge if requested.

A: No. STRUCTO-CRETE® Panels are the only UL-certified noncombustible cementitious panel in North America. STRUCTO-CRETE® Panels offer the simplest 2-hour floor/ceiling fire assembly which saves time and money.

A: STRUCTO-CRETE® Panels are compliant with the 2012, 2015 and 2018 IBC.

A: STRUCTO-CRETE® Panels are cured-in-factory 3/4" panels that are high-strength, fiberglass reinforced concrete panels for use in noncombustible Types I and II construction. The panels are certified noncombustible by Underwriters Laboratories Inc (UL) in accordance with the current version of ASTM E136. The panels take the place of traditional poured concrete and metal deck in cold-formed steel framing, STRUCTO-CRETE® Panels are a lighter and easier solution, requiring only the basic carpentry tools for installation.

A. Yes. We have the simplest 2-hour assemblies G556 and H505 with one layer of drywall (ULIX). We have the most comprehensive testing database of any panel for different assemblies, which can be found at: www.USGStructuralUL.com

A: No, must be covered and protected from traffic wear.

A: The carpenter typically leads the installation of STRUCTO-CRETE® Panels, which allows you to eliminate the many trades needed to pour concrete.

A: STRUCTO-CRETE® Brand Structural Panels are for subfloor applications, typically used in midrise buildings, health facilities, theaters, hotels, residential buildings and homes, multipurpose midrise buildings, panelized construction or in simple platforms or mezzanines. It is also used as the lightweight floor in permanent modular construction.

STRUCTO-CRETE® Brand Structural Roof Deck Panels are for roof deck applications, typically used for commercial low-slope or residential sloped roofing, balconies, and canopies. To see more information on what can be applied to STRUCTO-CRETE® Roof Deck Panels, reference High Performance Roof Applications (SCP68).

A: Review the installation guide.

A: Refer to our repair manual that takes you through the steps of repairing damages of square holes max. 6" by 6" or round holes max. 6" in diameter.

STRUCTO-CRETE® Panels are:

• Lighter – less weight, less overall structural material
• Faster – no wait for curing, fewer trades (carpenters can install STRUCTO-CRETE® Panels), greater schedule flexibility, faster time to open
• Lower risk – no moisture uncertainty, cured so there is no excessive free water
• Lower total installed cost – fewer trades, less material, less equipment, faster time to open

A: STRUCTO-CRETE® Panels are easy to install (lay, fasten, finish), and only requires a single trade. Unlike poured concrete, it can be installed in any weather, and it eliminates the wait to cure and dry. Other trades (e.g. mechanical and electrical) can begin work sooner. Schedule compression leads to lower project cost and faster time to open.

A: A variety of floor coverings can be used but an engineered underlayment is recommended over the panel except with carpet and pad.

A: The side with the glass-mat is the top side for floor applications.
