The artificially roughened plank can be designed as a continuous flooring system by the use of additional reinforcement in the topping concrete over supports.

Smooth surface planks without insitu topping can be used in light load situations such as multilevel carparks, office and apartment buildings. The planks are usually simply supported in these instances. After camber corrections the planks can be used as the finished running surface in the case of car parks or have a thin propriety levelling screed applied to produce a surface on which carpet can be directly laid.
