What are TUFF+ floors made of?

  • A solid sub-floor made from TUFF+ TPAN18S composite attached to floor joists.
  • SPC Flooring laid on top of the sub floor.

Both these layers are waterproof and resilient, and the SPC flooring Advantages range is beautiful and wears well.

TUFF+ Decking is exterior flooring which is made from WPC composites and has engineered gaps to allow water through.

TUFF+ Joists and studs are beams made from FRP 

TUFF+ Subflooring is composite 8×4′ panels attached to the joists.

What is TUFF+ Interlock method?

is a Trademarked method of building walls for high strength, flexibility and speed.

It is this method of building that provides the Cat 3 Hurricane rating for our houses and other buildings.

Use the contact form if you are a builder and are interested in becoming certified in the TUFF+ INTERLOCK method.

What is TUFF+ flat Roofing?

TUFF+ standard roofing is engineer specified FRP I-beams bolted to the walls.

Over the beams solid TPAN18S 8×4′ panels are screwed as a solid, strong base.

On top of the panels are polycarbonate roofing sheets the length of the beam. This ensures 100% rain proofing, UV protected, which ensures long life with no rust.

Between the roofing support beams insulation is supplied as standard.

Water and UV proof aluminum composite panels (ACP) are standard on all TUFF+ exterior walls. They are beautiful, maintenance free and come in a range of colors. 

example of ACP exterior cladding

ACP cladding can also be used on interior walls, especially in washrooms  and laundries.

 

What is prestressed concrete?

Prestressed concrete is a form of concrete used in construction. It is substantially “prestressed” (compressed) during production, in a manner that strengthens it – usually by the insertion of high tensile stainless steel cable under pressure.

View TUFF+ Building Kit Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) 

Why do TUFF+ Kit Buildings have flat roofs?

A flat roof is the most cost-efficient roof shape as all room space can be used fully (below and above the roof). Having a smaller surface area, flat roofs require less material and are usually stronger than pitched roofs.[26] 

Flat roofs also avoid the danger of aerofoil lift in strong winds such as in a hurricane. In simple terms a gabled roof is similar to an airplane wing and can lift the roof off, while a flat roof does not have to deal with this lift. When wind flows over a shallow sloped hip or gable roof, the roof can behave like an airplane wing.  

A flat roof also provides optimum sun exposure for solar panels
