Beam and block is a construction method to support flooring, especially for ground floors as well as multi story buildings. It is made of cast concrete, one piece of which is a pre pressed concrete beam, which can be an inverted T-shaped beam, or lintel, the other piece being a simple rectangular block. The beams are placed at regular intervals and the blocks placed between them. They form a support for the next layer of flooring materials.
Our concrete flooring has the ability to transform your domestic or commercial flooring area at a reasonable and affordable cost.
Beam and block flooring is the alternative solution to in situ concrete and has a multitude of uses, these uses range from domestic solutions, through to commercial use; 80% of all domestic ground floors in the UK now utilize a suspended precast concrete floor solution. Beam and block flooring can also be utilized at upper floor levels
