Fortruss
Fortruss is a stay-in-place forming system used to create insulated suspended concrete floor, deck, and roof assemblies. The system is made up of two primary components: high-strength EPS deck panels and metal-clad beam forms. Together, they form the structure for a reinforced concrete slab while remaining in place to provide insulation and a continuous thermal break.
The finished assembly creates a structural one-way slab with integral beams that delivers strong thermal performance, fire safety and sound control. Fortruss is suited for both residential and commercial construction, with pitched, sloped, and green roof applications also possible.
