Application
The main function of flooring is to transmit loads to the bearing structures of the building. Flooring is also sometimes used as diaphragms in order to support the horizontal stability of the structure and provide seismic resistance.
Flooring must also meet the requirements of building physics:
- minimising vibration to eliminate potential disturbances
- fire resistance
- thermal and acoustic performance
- durability in corrosive environments, both inside and outside the building
Fulfilling these requirements ensures that the flooring accommodates building services as well as other elements such as suspended ceilings.

With its wide range of products, ArcelorMittal Europe offers an extensive set of flooring solutions that meet performance requirements and effectively contribute to building efficiency.

Education wrapped in steel
17 May 2022Education escorts us throughout our entire lives – as do the buildings in which we acquire our knowledge and skills. We recollect their architecture, interior design, pieces of furniture, and even their smells. Some have impressed us more than others, but none of them have left us indifferent. In our memories, these buildings are profoundly connected to our experiences and emotions, including the people we connected with there.Over the last few decades, education has evolved and so have the requirements for educational buildings. Architectural design has significantly increased in importance, technology has conquered interior design, and user comfort is a key concern, all of which are important factors accompanying the learning experience. Architecturally attractive buildings not only express the prestige and status of institutions but contribute to a sense of wellbeing for their users.

Website newsSteel Construction Institute reports on Magnelis® ZM120 corrosion protection
7 October 2021A report from the Steel Construction Institute (SCI) describes their independent review of the performance of the Magnelis® ZM120 coating for corrosion protection. An innovative metallic coating that offers protection in the harshest environments, Magnelis® is a ZM (zinc-aluminium-magnesium) coating in accordance with EN 10346:2015.
Product news
ArcelorMittal Europe has developed a full range of steel products and solutions for flooring in multi-storey buildings as well as industrial, commercial, and storage buildings.
Our products can be combined into composite steel and concrete flooring solutions in order to reduce floor thickness, integrate services, or to enable optimal installation time as demonstrated by the integrated solution CoSFB.
Moreover, slimmer floor slabs enable optimisation of external facade areas and thus contribute to the improvement of thermal efficiency and global energy saving of the building.
To achieve such results, among other product ranges, ArcelorMittal Europe offers:
- Cofrastra® and Cofraplus® decking systems which replace temporary formwork and participate in concrete reinforcement while allowing thinner concrete slabs.
- Asymmetric beams, such as IFB (integrated floor beams) or SFB (slim floor beams), which reduce the overall thickness of floors.
- Cellular beams, such as ACB® or Angelina®, to simplify service integration and to avoid issues related to any additional service zones below the beam level.
- Steel floor plates – a cost-effective solution, such as S235 Diamond, with slip-resistant and durable surfaces for walkways, stairs, and platforms.
