The system consists of prestressed concrete beams spanning onto supporting walls, infilled with purpose-made concrete blocks. This creates a high-performance floor that’s quick to install, structurally sound, and resistant to ground movement — a major consideration on sites with variable or poor-quality subsoil.
One of the key benefits of beam and block is its simplicity and speed of installation. There’s no need for formwork, curing, or propping, and it provides an immediate working platform for follow-on trades. It’s also ideal for winter work — the system doesn’t rely on dry ground or favourable weather, which helps reduce delays and maintain programme certainty.
Beam and block floors also meet and often exceed Building Regulation standards for thermal and acoustic performance when combined with appropriate insulation and screed systems.
At PSS Limited, we specialise in the complete package — from early design consultation through to supply and on-site installation. But most importantly, we tailor each solution to meet the individual demands of your site and project team, removing hassle and saving valuable time.
