CASSETTE FLOORING

Save precious time and maximise your profits with prefabricated cassette flooring manufactured

by Dahlsens. Suitable for both ground and upper levels, and ideal for our unpredictable weather, prefab cassettes get you to lock-up stage faster – so you can access valuable payments sooner.

Plus, by combining cassette flooring with Dahlsens' prefabricated wall frames and roof trusses, you can streamline construction and reduce the risk of delays.

TRUSS AND FRAME Construction Subfloor and first floor applications using Pryda Span Floor Trusses or Longreach Floor Trusses are prefabricated into cassettes and delivered to site ready to install. Quick release lifting points are built into each of the cassettes making them easy to manoeuvre by crane to multiple storey floors.

Floor Truss Systems For larger openings, floor truss systems are engineered to withstand loads on upper floors. Large cantilevers and long spans of up to nine metres can eliminate the need for interior support walls and timber or steel beams. Reduce labour time onsite with their lightweight, easy and quick to install design – no cutting or notching required. Trades will appreciate the flexibility to run services through the floor saving further time and headaches.

The benefits of Dahlsens’ Cassette Flooring Save on labour, and potentially the total flooring cost, compared to onsite construction Speed up build time and reduce delays Get to lock-up and progress payments faster Reduce site wastage (including damage and theft) Start upper level wall frames the next day (if delivered together)

PREFAB CASSETTES GET YOU TO LOCK-UP STAGE FASTER

Reduce the impact and potential delays of unpredictable weather Decrease on site manual handling risks
