At Melton Concrete we offer 150mm and 225mm beams. All beams are cast in a factory-controlled environment in accordance with relevant British and European standards. The beams are available in 50mm increments and are typically used with a 100mm concrete infill block to create the floor.
Benefits of using a block and beam floor?
• Speed of Construction
• Strength and Durability
• Versatility
• Thermal Efficiency
• Noise Reduction
• Minimal Site Disruption
• Resistance to moisture and fire
• Cost Effective
• Sustainability
We can offer various types of insulated panels to fit with our beams. The two main types are expended Polystyrene (ESP) or Extruded Polystyrene (XPS). These systems form an impenetrable layer of insulation between the beams minimizing thermal bridging and creating a formwork on which to lay the reinforced concrete screed, eliminating the need for additional insulation.
Benefits of using a block and beam floor?
• Energy Efficiency
• Enhanced Thermal Comfort
• Sound Insulation
• Moisture Controlled Structural
• Quick Installation
• Environmental impact
• Increased Property Value
We can supply 150mm, 200mm and 250mm Hollowcore planks. All planks are manufactured in a factory-controlled environment and in accordance with relevant British and European standards. The planks are made per project to the millimetre. The standard with of our Hollowcore planks is 1200mm although these can be cut down to suit site dimensions. The installation of Hollowcore is usually carried out with a crane as the units are not able to be manhandled.
Benefits of using Hollowcore flooring
• Typically used on upper floors between separating dwellings
• Immediate working platform
• Quick to install – up to 290m2 per day
• Design Flexibility
• No need to wait until dry
• Fire resistance of up to 60 minutes
• Preformed SVP holes
• Span Capabilities
• Sound Insulation
• Reduced Dead Weigh

Melton ArcStairs are Precast curved stairs that are manufactured off-site in a controlled environment and then transported to the construction site for installation. Unlike traditional straight staircases, these stairs feature a curved design, which can range from a gentle arc to a more pronounced spiral or helical shape. The curvature of the stairs adds a unique architectural element, making them both functional and aesthetically appealing.
These stairs are typically made from high-quality concrete that is poured into custom moulds to achieve the desired shape and finish. The use of steel reinforcement ensures strength and durability. Once cured, the precast units are transported to the site where they are lifted into place and secured.
Benefits:
• Architectural Appeal
• Quality Control
• Time Efficiency
• Cost-Effectiveness
• Durability and Longevity
• Customization
• Minimal Site Disruption
• Structural Integrity
• Sustainability
• Safety
Split course bricks have a minimum 7n/mm2 compressive strength. Designed to be bedded top and bottom, they are available in the following sizes: 150mm Floors:
Sizes: L: 175mm W: 90mm/140mm D: 40mm
Steel trimmer angles can be utilised to create service openings or voids within the floor. The Maximum length of the trimmer angle is 1200mm.
Ceiling batten support clips are inserted from below the floor. The top of the clip has a galvanised steel plate bent at the right angles to allow the clops to be knocked into place. This plate wedges between the shoulder of the block and the beam floor. The legs are designed to allow for bending and twisting around the timber batten. The pre-drilled holes accommodate nails or screws for fixing. Counter batten or proprietary ceiling systems can then be installed.
• Fall arrest system only, reduces the impact if a fall occurs.
• Relies on the airbags being fully inflated and always clipped together during installation.
• All rooms must be clear of all material to be able to use the airbags
