The advantages of concrete flooring over timber upper floors

• No Wastage - timber floors have approximately 25% wastage due to twisted timber and strinkage etc.
• Concrete offer superior sound insulation
• Concrete floors reduce sound transmission to a minimum. No creaking timbers!
• Under Floor Heating is far more efficient with a concrete floor
• An average sized first floor is completed in concrete in 1 Day, giving an immediate working platform
• Timber first floors require the expense of purchasing temporary plywood, to board out the joists, which is eliminated with concrete
• Timber first floors are exposed to the elements, following installation and once roof covering is on the timber will suffer severe shrinkage. Concrete floors are not affected by the elements.
• The depth of our floor units suits brickwork coursing
• Block partitions can be constructed off first floor concrete, thus helping in sound efficiency and eliminating any stud partitions
• Greater spans are achievable with concrete, without going to greater depths and without the need for any additional supports.
