Rabat Beton
BUILDING MATERIALS & CONSTRUCTIONbeginner
Definition
Concrete floor screed — a thin layer of cement mortar (typically 3–5 cm) cast over a structural concrete floor slab to create a smooth, level wearing surface and to integrate MEP runs, conduits, and thermal mass systems. Rabat beton is a standard Indonesian floor assembly component, allowing the structural slab and finishing layer to be controlled independently.
Example
An Indonesian office building floor assembly consists of: structural concrete slab → insulation or MEP roughin → rabat-beton 4 cm (with embedded power and data conduits) → keramik tile flooring or carpet, each layer installed and cured sequentially.
