JABLITE GARAGE FLOOR SYSTEM

This Agr?ment Certificate Product Sheet(1) relates to the Jablite Garage Floor System, a range of expanded polystyrene (EPS) panels, concrete perimeter slip-bricks, stainless steel clips, concrete closure blocks and precast, prestressed concrete beams. The system is for use in conjunction with structural concrete topping reinforced with steel mesh as a suspended ground floor concrete slab, to form domestic integral, annex or outbuilding garages.

(1) Hereinafter referred to as `Certificate'.

CERTIFICATION INCLUDES:

? factors relating to compliance with Building Regulations where applicable

? factors relating to additional non-regulatory information where applicable

? independently verified technical specification ? assessment criteria and technical investigations ? design considerations ? installation guidance ? regular surveillance of production ? formal three-yearly review.

KEY FACTORS ASSESSED

Strength and stability -- the system has adequate strength and stiffness to support a suitable structural concrete topping and can sustain and transmit the dead and imposed floor loads associated with domestic garages (see section 6).

Durability -- the system components, including the EPS, concrete beam and concrete topping reinforced with steel mesh, will have a design life equivalent to that of the building in which they are incorporated (see section 8).

The BBA has awarded this Certificate to the company named above for the system described herein. This system has been assessed by the BBA as being fit for its intended use provided it is installed, used and maintained as set out in this Certificate.

Additional Information

NHBC Standards 2019

In the opinion of the BBA, the Jablite Garage Floor System used with concrete topping reinforced with steel mesh, if installed, used and maintained in accordance with this Certificate, can satisfy or contribute to satisfying the relevant requirements in relation to NHBC Standards 2019 Chapters 5.2 Suspended ground floors and 10.1 Garages.

CE marking

The Certificate holder has taken the responsibility of CE marking the Infill Panels in accordance with harmonised European Standard BS EN 15037-4 : 2010.

Technical Specification

1 Description

1.1 The Jablite Garage Floor System consists of a range of expanded polystyrene (EPS) panels (grey and white) and concrete closure blocks, optional stainless steel clips and structural concrete topping for use in constructing suspended ground floors in integral(1)(3), annex(2)(3) and outbuilding(4) unheated garages.

(1) An unheated integral garage is a space that is built within the walls of the main property and is an element of the building's structure. These garages can allow admission to the house through an integral door.

(2) An unheated annex garage is a space connected to the dwelling sharing one wall. These garages can also allow admission to the house through an integral door.

(3) If the integral or annex garage is to be converted to a habitable space in the future, additional thermal insulation to the floor will be required. (4) An unheated outbuilding garage is a free standing space, completely separate (detached) from the dwelling. Outbuilding garages must be positioned

at an acceptable distance from the dwelling, as required by the local Planning Authority.

1.2 The Infill Panels are available as Full Infill Panels, Half Infill Panels, Start/End Infill Panels, Edge Infill Panels and Make up Infill Panels, and are manufactured from EPS with the nominal characteristics given in Table 1 and Figure 1 of this Certificate.

? concrete topping reinforced with steel mesh to the specification given in Table 2. The concrete topping reinforced with steel mesh must be designed in accordance with BS EN 1990 : 2002 and BS EN 1992-1-1 : 2004 and their respective UK National Annexes, with a maximum aggregate size of 20 mm

(1) The concrete used in the prestressed beam and concrete topping must comply with BS EN 206: 2013, BS 8500-1: 2015 and BS 8500-2: 2015.

? concrete closure blocks and concrete perimeter slip-bricks -- with a compressive strength equal to, or greater than, that of the blocks used to form the inner leaf of the wall. For dimensions of concrete closure blocks, see Figure 2.

Figure 2 Closure blocks -- details (in mm)

? optional stainless steel edge clips -- act as a construction aid and can contribute additional support for the Start and End Infill Panels against the applied design dead and imposed loads on the floor. The specification of the clips is shown below. For further details, see Figure 3 and section 6.8 of this Certificate:
