Lattialohkojen

Lattialohkojen, often translated as floor blocks or floor elements, are structural components used in the construction of floors, particularly in residential and commercial buildings. They are typically pre-fabricated units designed to create a solid and load-bearing surface. The specific type of lattialohko can vary, but they generally serve to provide a stable base for flooring materials and contribute to the overall structural integrity of the building.

These elements are often made from materials such as concrete, wood, or composite materials. Concrete lattialohkojen are common in larger constructions due to their strength and durability, while wooden variants might be found in lighter structures. The design of lattialohkojen can include various interlocking mechanisms or support systems to ensure a secure and even fit when installed. They are manufactured off-site in controlled conditions, which can lead to faster on-site assembly and consistent quality.

The use of lattialohkojen can simplify the construction process by reducing the need for traditional in-situ formwork and pouring of concrete. They are laid out and connected to form the entire floor area, creating a platform that can then be finished with the desired flooring. Their application contributes to improved thermal and acoustic insulation depending on the material and design. The precise meaning and application can be context-dependent within Finnish construction terminology.
