One of the uk's leading beam and block floor manufacturers
We have been manufacturing suspended concrete floor beams since 1997. We are known for our quality products, proactive service and value-focused pricing.
Beam and block flooring has become an increasingly popular choice when it comes to floor structures. This is particularly true of residential properties. Suspended concrete floors do not creak, shrink, or bounce. They are relatively easy to install and provide a safe working platform for the rest of the build.
Our beam and block floors are made by laying a series of T-beams parallel to each other on supporting blockwork walls. At Floorspan, we produce 3 types of beam. The ‘pattern’ and type of beam used for a floor depends on two main factors, namely:
- The distance that needs to be spanned
- The loading conditions
Our team of estimators will produce a beam and block design that will satisfy the load and span conditions in the most economical way possible. This may mean using various patterns and beam types within a project to ensure the most cost effective solution without compromising on quality.
Medium density, lightweight infill blocks fill the gaps between the beams. A sand and cement mix is then spread over the floor to ensure that the beams and blocks form a solid structure. We can also provide any air bricks or slips you might require.

Benefits of Beam and Block Flooring
Beam and Block Flooring is very strong
Our beam and block flooring is very strong robust. Each T-beam is reinforced and specifically designed to meet the requirements of the span in question.
High levels of noise reduction
Because of the damping qualities of concrete, our beam and block floors have strong noise reduction capabilities. This sound insulation ensures compliance with government building regulations that deal with the passage of sound (‘The Building Regulation – Part E’)
Strong Thermal Performance
Beam and block flooring offers a good degree of flexibility when it comes to thermal performance. To achieve the best U value possible, we can provide EPS flooring panels, in place of infill blocks, alongside our cost-effective ‘light’ beams.
Suspended Floors are great for sloping ground
Suspended concrete floors are the preferred choice for sloping sites as they overcome the need to carry out major excavation.
Excellent Fire Saftey Levels
Fire resistance is another important factor. Our beam and block floors have high fire safety ratings. The construction method also helps to ensure safety.
Beam and block is very durable
Our beam and block flooring is very strong and stable. Each T-beam is reinforced and specifically designed to meet the requirements of the span in question.
