InstaGroup’s Cradle and Batten Subfloor System

As the construction industry strives to improve efficiency, reduce environmental impact and control costs, evaluating alternative building methods is becoming increasingly important. Subfloor systems are a crucial component of building design and performance, particularly in high-rise developments where weight, materials and load-bearing capacity significantly impact both design and budget.

This white paper presents our findings from a comparative study conducted to evaluate potential savings in materials and foundation loads. We have compared our cradle and batten subfloor system with a traditional screed approach.

For the purposes of simulation, we used a 25-storey building with 800 m2 floor plates at each level. To get a broader understanding of real-world scenarios, analyses were conducted not only on concrete constructions but also on steel frame constructions.
