Joint-free ceilings are now possible with prestressed slabs

When prestressed concrete slabs are used in residential building projects, a disadvantage has always been the creation of visible ceiling joints between adjoining slabs. These joints are often criticized for giving an industrial look and have to a varying degree posed a barrier for precasters looking to supply prestressed slabs to the residential market. In a new development project, the Danish company Abeo has created a highly innovative solution for making “concealed joints” between SL-decks.
