SmartFloor is a versatile building system that offers engineers and architects flexibility in design with long spans and the ability to use the panels for all floor assembly types just by varying the panel thickness.

SmartFloor also offers substantial environmental benefits such as long-term carbon absorption through the utilisation of timber.

Pre-Dimensioning

SmartFloor is a flexible and light-weight building system that allows for long spans for floor construction. The panels are precision designed and fabricated in accordance with your specification.

Set Downs

Wet area and balcony set downs can be incorporated into the SmartFloor Cassette System which saves even further on site labour and fabrication time.

Service Integration

The unique design of the TecBeam floor joist allows for the services to be incorporated within the construction depth of the SmartFloor Cassette System.  SmartJoist Cassette systems are also available, with engineered penetrations for services provided.  This service integration significantly reduces the overall construction depth of the system and in turn maximises floor to ceiling heights.

Detailed Design and Drafting

The SmartFloor Cassette System utilises a detailed design and drafting service which ensures that every component of the cassette system is incorporated into the overall design of the project. Coordination with the supporting structure, architectural layout and service design is carried out prior to the fabrication of the cassettes which ensures that a seamless installation process is achieved on site. Engineering design and certification of the SmartFloor Cassette System can also be provided if required.

A primary reason for building in timber is the speed of assembly. Timber has been found to be quicker to construct and easier to work with, providing considerable advantages in weight reduction with comparable strength alternative materials.

Tilling’s range of lightweight timber solutions include, TecBeam, Cassette Flooring Systems, Commercial I-Joist [500mm and 600mm], SmartFloor Cassette Modular Flooring Systems, SmartLam Glue Laminated Beams and Post-tension Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL) or Glulam Box Beams.

Designing with Timber – The Significant Difference

Those wishing to produce a structure in timber will find that construction methods will be different.  First and foremost it is imperative that Project Developers collaborate at the onset of projects with Architects, competent Timber Structural Engineers, experienced in light framing systems and Services Engineers to ensure a process of education occurs. This educational process eliminates considerable problems occurring down the track. This is where the Tilling SmartStruct™ system comes in.

Trusting Your Project to Tilling

Tilling has formed a Worldwide consortium to ensure a tailored Design, Engineering, Supply, Delivery and Installation service to the Australian Market. Employing a consultative approach, solutions are designed in accordance with the scope of works in a collaborative process ensuring the most viable and cost effective solution is found and implemented.

TECBEAM®is a composite structural I-beam which has a continuous galvanised steel web and LVL flanges resulting in a lightweight beam with structural properties more resembling those of a steel beam rather than a solid beam.

Structural Beam within the Floor Envelope
Unlike any other timber I-beams, the TecBeam can be used as a structural beam within a floor or roof solution. This unique property allows designers and detailers to realise structural solutions within the floor envelope. The use of TecBeams can often eliminate steel beams, with significant savings.

Point Loads
High concentrated loads can be placed anywhere along the flange because of the continuous steel web support and load sharing capabilities. With the ability to sustain between 10-15kN load, TecBeam joists are ideally suited to residential, commercial and industrial structures where there are high uniform and concentrated loads. The SmartFrame Design Centre staff are always available to assist with a solution.

Offset loads
TecBeam joists have proven performance in supporting large permanent loads such as tiled roofs, aerated concrete and screeded floors thanks to its rigidity and lower creep factor. The designer can take advantage of this feature to eliminate beams that would normally be used under load bearing walls.

Cantilevers
Due to the unique web design, TecBeam® can be used to achieve cantilevers in two directions by running structural elements perpendicular to TecBeam cantilever joists.
