AlphaRiser Retrofit
Combine all the benefits of easy joist adjustability with a post-fix riser solution. The Retrofit Riser uses the unique FreeBeam channel and provides the perfect solution for where riser units need to be fitted within existing floor slabs. This saves all the frustration of having to drill and re-drill fixings into the slab edge to locate the support joists and gives maximum flexibility for MEP coordination.
