The prestressed concrete slabs are a good alternative to a formed and poured in place concrete floor. Provided however that a few inches of reinforced concrete is poured on top of them.
Great question. These are 8" with a 2-3" topping. The topping uniforms all the hollow core pieces. There is also rebar at the perimeter to lock it in place. All penetrations MUST be performed with a water core drill as you would in a regular poured slab. The penetrations need to be less than 6", which none of ours were bigger than 3"
Great question... The hollow core can handle a hurricane, since the house is built to current code. Weight wise, not sure if i would buy lead furniture, but it will hold the same as a standard floor. Most floors are built with wooden trusses.
The thumbnail for the video was a great eye catcher!

You know your constriction... This topping was 3" with fiber reinforced concrete to add that extra strength.

Will the hollowcore withstand the hurricane and how much furniture can you have on it upstairs?
