Terraces without problems.

The modular panels are placed on special polypropylene supports. The slight room among the panels allow to absorb the moving of the slab so that the water can flow away through the waterproof layer into the drainage system. Moreover, the air chambers between the underside of the panels and the slab can perfectly proof, keeping the rooms under the slab warm in winter and cool in summer. Thanks to Grintec® Raised Floor System the tiles do not break anymore (whichever the weather is: sunny, rainy, frosty) because the panel containing them is made of a composite long-lasting, highly-resistant material, with an inner steel reinforcement. Installation is quicker, construction and maintenance time and costs are lower and the designer can create the space and environment without limitation.

The Panel seen from close up.
Each panel of the Grintec® system is composed of a substructure made of composite material with steel reinforcement and a top finish in a material expecially suitable for outdoor applications, such as the Porcelain Stoneware.

Specification.
Modular and discontinuous Grintec®: raised flooring for outdoor areas, laying on plastic material supports of fixed or adjustable height. The supports raise the floor from the slab, so that it can be levelled and rainwater can flow naturally through the waterproof surface layer. The system is composed of modular panels, 20 mm maximum thick, made of composite material with inner steel reinforcement. The walking surface consists of conventional tiles (a type of Porcelain Stoneware depending on the Management Works choice) which are bonded to the composite material, resulting in a “monolithic” panel. Panels nominal size: 60 x 60 cm. Tiles nominal size: cm 30 x 30 (4 tiles each panel) or cm 60 x 60 (1 tile each panel). Frost resistance according to EN Norm 202 (50 cycles 15°C/-15°C).
