Concrete Flooring
Spanwright Concrete produce precast reinforced, prestressed hollowcore and Block & Beam flooring concrete floor units.
Precast concrete floors are more economic for shorter floor spans (up to 6m) and light loading situations, e.g. Housing / residential construction, while Prestressed flooring units can span longer distances and take heavier loads, thus more suited to commercial projects.
Block & Beam floors are more commonly used in ground floor construction over short spans and where access for heavy plant machinery is limited.
Our technical department will be able to advise you which product is best for your particular application, so if in doubt please contact us.
