The Fabemi Group, a French manufacturer, has just published the 2021 edition of the Flooring Solutions guide dedicated to the installation of its joists, interjoists, and accessories. Specializing in the manufacture of prefabricated floor elements, Fabemi is among the leaders in the joist market. A true working tool, the catalog brings together all the information on Fabemi products and the installation advice necessary for professionals, from specifiers to installers. Each type of project (individual house, small apartment building, public buildings, etc.) finds its detailed Fabemi solution in this edition, illustrated with clear diagrams and explicit tables, the products used, and accessories.

A valuable information tool for professionals

The Solutions Planchers 2021 guide provides all the information necessary for the design and implementation of many types of assembly, classified by category: roof-terrace floor, intermediate floor, crawl space floor and upper basement floor. From the first pages, it highlights, in the form of 3D sketches with vertical sections, different buildings corresponding to a precise assembly project. Each part of the building is referenced, with a reference to the pages devoted to the recommended Fabemi products and accessories.

Floor assemblies: an effective presentation

Three main families of floor assemblies – Raidtherm®, Tradiraid® and Optiraid® – are available in their different configurations and areas of use (Raidtherm® insulating floor, Raidtherm® Duo insulating floor under floating screed, Raidtherm® Décor insulating floor with decorative finish, etc.). Each assembly is structured in the same way: 3D photo, with a focus on the advantages symbolized by pictograms (thermal, economic, fire resistance, ease of installation, etc.). Then the areas of use of the assembly are listed, followed by captioned photos of each of the elements used, with page references to the “Products” chapter.

The products: joists and interjoists follow a logical order

Here again, the model of the Fabemi 2021 guide aims for efficiency and adopts the same main lines of presentation as in the previous chapter: photo of each element, pictograms, advantages, characteristics, with the emphasis on product performance. The implementation advice is illustrated by diagrams and photos.

Accessories

From the beam to the thermal breakers, including the planelles and the lines, the numerous Fabemi accessories are detailed here one by one, in the continuity of a general presentation which truly serves as a common thread. Photos, diagrams and implementation advice are important because the success of the project depends on them.

Technical specifications: installation requirements and recommendations

In this chapter, everything is said about the thermal, acoustic and fire regulations in force. Calculations, measurements and dimensions are explained by diagrams for each type of floor and building. The beams and entrevous installation recommendations refer to storage, handling, floor preparation, installation of elements, shoring and concrete pouring.

The last pages of Flooring Solutions provide information on the Raid® software, developed by the Fabemi Design Office, which allows you to create installation plans that comply with current regulations, specifying the full quantity of products required to create the floor.
