The renovation at Protea Avenue, Sea Point, involved adding a new residential extension immediately adjacent to the existing garage structure. This required a robust flooring solution that could handle significant design loads and integrate seamlessly with both the existing building framework and new structural elements introduced for the extension.

​

The Speedfloor suspended concrete flooring system provided a brilliant solution, demonstrating its structural versatility and adaptability in tight, complex renovation scenarios.

 

Core Product Benefits Highlighted:

 

1. Integration with Hybrid Supports: A critical advantage in this project was Speedfloor's flexibility in combining with both traditional Reinforced Concrete (RC) beams (used for extra support) and the existing walls/structure. This compatibility allowed for easy tie-in next to the existing garage, ensuring a smooth transition and a continuous, structurally sound floor plane for the beautiful home extension.

2. High Load-Bearing Capacity: Speedfloor's engineered components are designed to handle strong carrying loads, providing a durable, permanent concrete floor slab that meets the high standards required for luxury residential space.

3. Diverse Application & Simplicity: The project highlights the ease with which Speedfloor can be used in diverse renovation applications, simplifying the structural solution adjacent to an existing, permanent building component (the garage). This kept the renovation project fast and manageable.

​

The Protea Ave project is a testament to Speedfloor's ability to facilitate brilliant home renovations by providing a structurally flexible, high-performance concrete slab solution that integrates effortlessly with complex existing frameworks.
