What is epicore deck?
The Epicore MSR Composite Floor System is a high performance composite deck that is ideally suited for use with load-bearing metal stud walls. The Epicore MSR deck profile is flat across the bottom which creates a continuous uniform load on the metal stud bearing walls.
What is an epicore slab?
The EPICORE MSR Floor System is a long-span composite slab system utilizing high-strength EPICORE MSR Composite Floor Deck as a permanent and positive reinforcing steel form. The keys to the system are the dovetail rib configuration and the closed ends of the EPICORE MSR ribs.
What is epicore construction?
EPICORE MSR is a dramatic improvement when combined with the load-bearing metal stud wall panels to create the Infinity System. EPICORE MSR is a 2” deep, high performance, long span, composite metal deck that acts as both the permanent form and the positive reinforcing.
What is Epicore MSR deck?
