TASS Slabs

Description of Thermal Acoustic Slab System

TASS (Thermal Acoustic Slab System) is a combination of a moulded EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) block and cold rolled steel channel to form a 'rib and block'/coffer slab system for multi storey buildings. The system comprises a priority high strength galvanised steel rib which supports the high density TASS EPS void formers.

The system is completed by the placement of reinforcing bars between the TASS blocks in both directions, reinforcing mesh above the blocks and concrete to fill the channels, encapsulate the rebar and mesh to form the structure of the floor slab.

The beams which are created by the concrete infill and rebar in the gaps between the TASS blocks creates a monolithic structure.

The TASS void formers are left in place and act both as a thermal and sound insulator.
