At Ripstaal, every detail has been thought through. Steel sheets are designed to provide maximum load-bearing capacity with minimal weight. Floors remain slim - with a construction starting at just 36 mm - but deliver uncompromising performance. Think fire resistance of up to 120 minutes and noise reduction of up to 40 dB. This makes the boards suitable not only for homes, but also for projects where safety and comfort are key.

Smart and Fast Flooring with Ripstaal Dovetailed Sheets

One craftsman, one task: within a short time, a stable substrate is created for pouring concrete. The result is a lightweight, formwork- and reinforcement-ready concrete floor that can be loaded in one working step.

Dovetailed sheeting - invisibly strong: reliable flooring, from bathroom to storey
Whether it's a bathroom floor, a storey floor or a house separating floor with sound insulation: Ripstaal Dovetail sheeting does its job invisibly, but perfectly. The clever weight distribution across the supporting structure reduces stresses and prevents cracking. That means not only a safe floor today, but also long-term durability. Even in damp rooms such as showers or toilets, the floor remains reliable, stable and resistant to external influences.

Dovetail plate accessory
ZW 10 fixing rails floor heating
This mounting rail provides the solution for mounting the frequently used underfloor heating in dovetailed sheet floors.
For installations on the dovetailed plate, screw the rails directly to the plate. As a rule of thumb for numbers, you can use 3 rails per square metre of surface area. You apply the rails over the entire floor area to be fitted with underfloor heating.
The mounting rails can also be used for mounting underfloor heating on floor insulation layers and is suitable for 14-22mm underfloor heating pipes. The rails has a length of 1 metre.
