Flooring Blocks •440 440 x 560mm 4N/mm 2 Compressive Strength (BBA 90/2467) •Developed Developed for use within pre-cast concrete suspended floor beams •Using Using Aircrete in beam & block flooring can help improve U-value •Fewer Fewer beams required Properties and benefits of aircrete Flooring blocks Emphasis on the thermal performance benefits compared to solid concrete floors - “U-value” is a link to a graph comparing U-values for Beam & aircrete block infill and Solid concrete floors. Fewer beams required when flooring blocks are laid along the 560mm width. Resulting in cost savings 23
