Types of Precast Concrete Flooring

Precast concrete flooring systems are not one-size-fits-all. They can be tailored to meet the specific needs of different construction projects, from residential and commercial buildings to large-scale civil engineering developments.

Some of our popular precast concrete flooring products include:

HOLLOWCORE FLOORING

Hollowcore slabs are one of the most widely used precast concrete flooring systems. They have a hollow core running the length of the slab, which reduces weight and material usage yet maintains strength.

This type of flooring is ideal for projects where load-bearing capacity and spans are key considerations, such as residential developments, schools, and commercial buildings. Hollowcore slabs offer excellent thermal and acoustic performance, making them a popular choice for architects and contractors alike.

Beam and Block Flooring

BEAM AND BLOCK FLOORING

This is a flexible and cost-effective system composed of precast concrete beams and infill blocks.

Beam and block flooring is often used for ground floors and provides a robust solution that is quick to install, even in challenging site conditions. The system is particularly valued by main contractors and groundworkers for its ability to bridge over poor ground conditions and provide immediate working platforms.

THERMABEAMTM INSULATED FLOORING

ThermaBeamTM offers construction professionals a thermally insulated ground floor solution that is simple and cost-effective.

It is a more thermally efficient method of construction compared to traditional methods as it helps to maximise the thermal performance and energy rating of the building, which it does by eliminating air gaps and minimising heat loss.

PRECAST STAIRS AND LANDINGS

Designed and manufactured off-site, FP McCann’s precast concrete stairs and landings provide safe and durable access between building levels, and suitable for residential developments, commercial buildings, and general infrastructure projects.

Manufactured in a controlled environment, our precast stairs and landings ensure high quality, precise dimensions, and faster installation, helping to streamline construction timelines and reduce on-site labour resources.

BENEFITS OF PRECAST CONCRETE FLOORING

Precast concrete flooring offers a wide range of benefits that make it an ideal choice for architects, main contractors, and specialist contractors working on construction projects in the UK. These include:

One of the most significant advantages of precast concrete flooring is the speed at which it can be installed. Because the flooring units are manufactured off-site and delivered ready for installation, the on-site construction process is significantly faster compared to traditional in-situ concrete pours.

This is the case for our range of flooring solutions – hollowcore flooring, beam and block flooring, ThermaBeamTM and stairs and landings.

Main contractors and groundworkers benefit significantly from the speed of installation who are working to tight deadlines and need to keep their projects on schedule.

Cost control is a critical factor for all stakeholders in a construction project, and precast concrete flooring delivers savings in several areas.

By minimising labour costs, reducing material waste, and shortening project timelines, precast flooring provides a cost-effective solution that helps to keep projects within budget.

Precast concrete flooring is known for its strength and durability, making it an ideal choice for projects that require robust, long-lasting solutions.

Whether you are working on a commercial building, a residential development, or a civil engineering project, precast flooring can handle the load-bearing requirements and environmental conditions typical of UK construction sites.

Sustainability is a top priority for specifiers as projects’ green credentials now have to align with the UK Government’s Net Zero targets. Precast concrete flooring is a sustainable product choice for many reasons.

Since precast flooring is produced off-site, less energy is required for on-site processes such as mixing and curing concrete. Additionally, faster installation means reduced energy consumption for onsite operations.

Precast concrete flooring systems offer significant design flexibility, making them an ideal choice for architects and engineers who need adaptable solutions to meet the specific requirements of their projects.

Precast concrete floors can be designed and manufactured to fit a wide range of building types, from large open-span commercial spaces to more complex, multi-level residential buildings.
