Designed and made in Australia, the Bubble Deck is an ingenious creation that will not only prove an environmentally friendly alternative to non-structural concrete, but also actually be a welcome addition in the construction industry.

The plastic bubbles are approximately the size of a football and are encased within a frame thus creating a “honeycomb” pattern.

The design means that there can be up to 50% longer spans between building columns and no beams. It will also allow for long cantilevers and open facades and ultimately proves that eco-friendly building doesn’t have to be more expensive.
