What are the benefits of beam and block flooring?

Suspended concrete flooring, also known as beam and block, has gained popularity among homeowners. This type of flooring does not creak, shrink, or bounce, making it a stable and reliable option. It is also easy to install, providing a safe working platform for the rest of the construction process.

Beam and block floors are created by placing a series of T-shaped beams parallel to each other on top of supporting blockwork walls. This creates a sturdy and durable flooring structure that can withstand heavy loads.
