Block and beam floors 1

Tuesday, 20th September 2011

This is the drawing that shows the dimensions and layout of  the concrete beams for the floors. The beams are manufactured to the right size and arranged according to the plan. Concrete blocks are then inserted between the beams to create the floor. Block and beam flooring is slightly cheaper than solid concrete and has the advantage that the loading is through the foundations, so there’s no chance that the floor will settle after it’s laid.
