    The key takeaways are that Slimdek is an engineered flooring solution from Corus that offers minimal structural depth and maximum performance using asymmetric beams, decking, and fabricated beams.

    The main components of Slimdek are asymmetric beams (ASB and ASB(FE)), SD225 decking, and rectangular hollow section fabricated beams (RHSFB).

    Some of the benefits of Slimdek include minimal structural depth, fast construction with minimum waste, composite action without shear studs, elimination or reduction of fire protection, reduction of cladding and services costs, and flexible services integration.
