Precast concrete flooring products

Precast concrete flooring offers a range of benefits, making it an ideal choice for durable, adaptable, and sustainable building projects.

One of the main advantages of precast concrete flooring is its exceptional durability and long lifespan, with floors often lasting for several decades. This reliability helps to reduce maintenance costs over time. Precast concrete is also highly adaptable, allowing for a range of applications across various sectors, from residential buildings to large commercial developments.

With Milbank’s expert support throughout the process, we ensure that our flooring solutions are tailored to your project, delivering both performance and value.

Beam and block concrete floors consist of pre-stressed concrete T-beams, cut to specified lengths based on construction drawings. These beams are laid perpendicular to the supporting blockwork walls and spaced to allow for filling with standard-sized lightweight aircrete or dense aggregate blocks. Once laid, the floor structure is consolidated with a 4:1 dry mix of sharp sand and cement to fill the gaps, creating a solid, durable base.

The dry process used for beam and block flooring means no mortar or adhesive is required, providing an instant working platform as soon as the flooring is laid, ready for follow-on trades. Milbank has been manufacturing and supplying concrete flooring products for over 75 years, offering pre-stressed T-beams in 155mm and 225mm depths, and 100mm deep building blocks to fill the gaps during installation.

WarmFloor Pro is a cost-effective alternative to standard beam and block flooring, offering a thermally insulated solution that lowers construction costs while improving energy efficiency and sustainability. On average, WarmFloor Pro costs around £50/m2 (including a 100mm topsheet and delivery), compared to £64/m2 for a standard Beam & Block floor with separate insulation. This represents a saving of over £850, or 20%, for a typical 60m2 floor, making it an attractive choice for both self-builders and large construction companies.

WarmFloor Pro is especially popular in housing projects, from individual homes to entire developments. It complies with the latest Building Regulations Part L, which require a U-value of 0.13W/m²K for new builds, reducing heating costs and improving thermal performance. With its all-in-one package that simplifies ordering and installation, WarmFloor Pro ensures a fast and efficient build, while its A+ Green Guide rating and certification make it an essential component of sustainable construction projects.

Hollowcore slabs are typically used in the construction of upper floors in apartments and flats, commercial buildings, and larger houses. They deliver outstanding thermal properties and offer improved thermal efficiency in all developments.

Milbank hollowcore planks are available as 150mm, 200mm and 250mm deep units and are produced as standard 1200mm wide (although different shapes and widths are available to fit your individual requirements). When installed and grouted together, Milbank Hollowcore units form a unified monolithic slab.

Ordering concrete flooring from Milbank is simple and straightforward. With over 75 years of experience in manufacturing prestressed concrete floors, we offer three flooring options—Beam & Block, Hollowcore, and WarmFloor Pro Insulated Flooring—each tailored to different project needs.
