Hindhaugh Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 Has anyone experience of using the concrete beam and block floor system? Presume you buy beams the length required and 'x' number of blocks and once all in place pour concrete on top and 'hi presto' floor done! Any info on approx price, the blocks I have seen being used appear to look like standard concrete building blocks, is this correct?Thanks John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeb Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 There is an article with diagrams in this month's Maison et Travaux which may help but have a look at it in the shop before buying it just in case I've led you up the garden path.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter gers 32 Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 what are you beaming?what depth have you gotwhats the ground like is it clay?has the house got foundations you need at least nine inches below the beam on most accasions so poss alot of digging outyou should install a insulation between the block and finished screed so this also increase floor height it is not cheaper than conventual concrete floor but far quicker and gives you a lot more versitility if you need any info pleaese shout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
