One of the great things about Lewis Deck is its versatility when it comes to the type of building it can be installed in. This one is no exception. Here we see Lewis Deck being used to add a floor on top of an existing building in London.

Lewis Deck was chosen, on this particular project, for a number of the key benefits the system brings. These being the strength of the system with only needing a thin screed on top, the acoustic qualities & vibration control properties and the speed an ease of installation.

This project even requested much longer sheets than standard in an effort to speed up the installation process even more. In fact you can see from the main photo above that some of the sheets were extremely long. The longest being just over 6.5m.

We initially started work on the design side of this project back in 2016 and after a 2 year gap we were brought back on board in 2018 to continue the discussions regarding the deck. The order was eventually placed in early 2020 and after a delay due to the site closing down during the lockdown period we eventually delivered all of the deck in August this year.

The deck was laid on top of a steel beam/ joist structure and fixed down periodically. The joists were installed, mainly, at 400mm centres and the deck was cut to size to match these centres.
