- No prestressed unit is to be cut or drilled without submission to our technical department
- Shot-fired fixings are NOT PERMITTED in beams or blocks
- Prestressed units have an inherent upward camber and due allowance should be made in any finishes to cater for this
- Differential cambers are likely to occur due to manufacturing/construction tolerances or where short and long units are adjacent or at change of direction of spans
- Some form of leveling screed by a general contractor is recommended for polystyrene and chipboard or ‘Floating’ floors to accommodate slight differences in camber and level between top of block and top of beam
- Garage floors require a reinforced C30 concrete screed
- Holes can be accommodated by the omission of blocks and made good with in situ concrete by the general contractor after.
Features and benefits
Quick installation
Installation is quick and can be carried out by the Charcon Construction Solutions team if required. There is no need to wait for concrete slabs to cure and once grouted, floors form a ready to work base for follow on trades
Naturally fire resistant
As with all Charcon precast concrete products, block and beam flooring is naturally fire resistant and achieves the thermal insulation values required by Building Regulations when combined with appropriate finishes
Can incorporate additional flooring solutions such as sand or screed
The top surface of the beam and block floor is suitable for the application of sand/concrete screed or one of Charcon Construction Solutions insulated raised flooring systems (laid directly onto a continuous damp proof membrane over a leveling screed.) Additional insulating material can also be added between the beam and block and floor finish.
