Certificate type
Structural floor beam and insulation block flooring system.
Description
A revolutionary patented suspended ground floor system, designed to provide outstanding thermal and structural performance.
Compared with traditional concrete infill blocks, incorporating TETRiS blocks into the design dramatically reduces the static load imposed on the concrete beams, thus reducing the overall quantity of beams required and increasing the span bridged.
Features and benefits:
- 100% recyclable.
- Can achieve U-values as low as 0.11 W/m²K.
- CFC and HCFC free.
- High compressive strength.
- High thermal performance.
- Produces a floor with zero cold bridges.
- Quicker and easier to install than traditional beam and block floor systems.
- The insulation blocks sit on and between standard pre-stressed concrete floor beams and is finished with a structural concrete topping.
- It has been awarded the highest Code for Sustainable Homes construction rating of A+ = 3 Code credits (Element No. 820140051).
- Long term water absorption by immersion (% volume, to BS EN 12087): <0.7%.
Grade (to BS EN 826):
CS300.
