List of featured suppliers of FLOORS Precast Concrete Beam and Block Flooring BS 8110:1985 on Building Products Index
Floors made up of precast concrete beams and blocks is a type of flooring system that conforms to the British Standard code of practice for the design and construction of reinforced and prestressed concrete structures (BS 8110:1985). The system comprises precast concrete beams that are laid perpendicular to each other and supported by precast concrete blocks. These blocks are laid in the gaps between the beams to form a solid, level floor structure. The beams are typically pre-tensioned to provide additional strength and rigidity to the floor, and are designed to carry the loads imposed by the building above. This type of flooring system is popular in commercial and industrial buildings due to its durability, ease of installation, and relatively low cost compared to other types of flooring.
