FLOOR and more® hollow floor
Use advice for data set Scope: This EPD relates to the FLOOR and more® hollow floor system. The collected production data are for the year 2016. The hollow floor panel is produced at the Lindner plant in Dettelbach, whereas the substructure is produced in Arnstorf. This document is translated from the German Environmental Product Declaration into English. It is based on the German original version EPD-LIN-20170194-IBD1-DE. The verifier has no influence on the quality of the translation. System boundary: The life cycle analysis for the FLOOR and more® hollow floor system includes the stages "cradle to gate with options". Consideration is given to Modules A1–A3 as a combined module for the production phase, A4–A5 (deployment phase), and B1-B2 (use as well as maintenance and repair). In particular, the following processes were included in information module A1–A3 for production of the FLOOR and more® hollow floor system: Raw material provision processes (gypsum, cellulose, steel – module A1) - Transport of the raw and auxiliary materials and consumables to the plant (A2) - Production processes for the system product in the plant, including the energy costs (power, thermal energy and disposal of residual substances (A3) - Production of packaging materials (A3) - Transport from the factory gate to the construction site (A4) - Disposal of the packaging materials (A5) - Use of the hollow floor (B1) and its maintenance and repair (B2) The modules are declared with 0 for the use phase (B1–B2). During the use phase the product causes no environmental impacts. The product itself has no need of maintenance.
Technical purpose of product or process The hollow floor system named in 2.1 and made from plasterboard, supports and supplementary components is mainly intended for creating cavities / installation spaces in public, commercial and private buildings. The hollow floor system can be covered with all the usual floor coverings, but must be aligned to the system variants.

General comment on data set The dry hollow floor system FLOOR and more® is a hollow floor with sealed base course suited for the application of floor coverings; it is supported by a special substructure in order to form a cavity between the base course and the raw ceiling for installation to accommodate all installations as well as supply and waste lines. Access to the cavity of hollow floors is realised for example by inspection openings or raised floor routes. The hollow floor system is in essence formed using hollow floor panels and a substructure. For installation, supplementary components (structural adhesive for panel bonding, bare floor sealant, support adhesive, thread sealant, edge sealant and connecting elements for different system floor constructions) are required. Use of this product is subject to the respective national provisions at the place of use, in Germany for example the building regulations of the federal states and the technical provisions based on this legislation. The FLOOR and more® hollow floor panels are made from fibre-reinforced plasterboard (with a density of approx. 1,300 – 1,530 kg/m³ and a panel thickness of 24 – 40 mm). Hollow floor panels are by default delivered in dimensions 600 x 600 mm. Steel supports are used for the substructure and these cater for different construction heights (40 – 2,000 mm). The EPD results for the production of the FLOOR and more® hollow floor system is applicable to hollow floor panels with a thickness between 24 mm and 40 mm. These different panel types can be combined with different supports. The production processes do not differ. Surface coverings are not considered in the life cycle assessment, since the possibilities for surface coverings are very varied. This could be a choice of stone, parquet, carpet, etc. Its consideration would not be meaningful for the FLOOR and more® system.

Technology description including background system Production and treatment of the fibre-reinforced plasterboard: The main raw materials Alpha hemihydrate, Beta gypsum and cellulose fibre are mixed, water is added, and then they are pressed under high pressure to form rugged panels which are dried and cut to the required formats. Further production steps include the milling of serrations into the sides of the panels. Production of the supports: The supports are produced by resistance welding or clinching the individual components; tubes, threaded rods and sheet steel. Electroplating (galvanic zinc coating) applies a zinc coating to the supports to protect them from corrosion. Lindner Group operates a quality management system in conformity with /EN ISO 9001/. Declared unit: The declared unit relates to 1 m² FLOOR and more® hollow floor without floor covering and with an average floor panel thickness of 36.46 mm and average density of 1,304 kg/m³. For the installation of the floor panel, 4 support per m² are required. The panel thickness within the product family varies from 24 – 40 mm and the raw density from 1,300 – 1,530 kg/m³. The declared unit has a weight of 47.6 kg/m² for the panel plus 0.805 kg for the corresponding supports (0.2014 kg per support). The total weight of the hollow floor system is 48.4 kg. For the steel supports, the most widely used common supports are declared: Type L1, 120 mm, unit weight 0.2014 kg/unit Optionally, it is possible to combine the panels with supports for construction heights between 40 and 2,000 mm. A surface covering is not considered in the life cycle assessment, since the possibilities for coverings are very varied. This could be a choice of parquet, linoleum, carpet, etc.
