Floorblock is an efficient method of providing insulated floors; it is light in weight and is designed for use with all proprietary T-beams. Detailing is made simple by the availability of special Floor Endblocks and Coursing Slips in two modular bedding heights for closing at the edge of the floor.
Note: After the Floorblocks have been positioned, before any trafficking or loading is allowed and before any floor finish is commenced, the floor must be grouted with a 1:4 cement/sharp sand composition.

Properties
Mean compressive strength not less than 4.0N/mm²
Designed thermal conductivity (λ) 0.16W/mK
Specified gross dry density 660kg/m³
*Blocks can be laid to correspond with 540mm beam spacing (660kg/m³ only)
** Block weights are calculated using specified gross dry density, with a moisture content of 3% by weight added to provide the equilibrium value.
