Rackham floor beams are designed to be infilled with suitable concrete building blocks to provide a platform suitable for the application of various finishes.
Designed to be laid swiftly and reliably in any weather, these beams are ideal for supporting non-loadbearing block walls, thereby eliminating the need for additional foundations.
Offering an economical alternative to traditional ground floor construction methods, Rackham beams are manufactured to the highest quality standards. When installed as recommended, they ensure a floor that is free from creaking, rotting, warping, burning, and unaffected by challenging soil conditions such as clay heave or the poor compaction of fill materials.
Rackham's 175mm floor beams are precision-made in steel moulds, ensuring accurate and consistent dimensions.
This precision supports uniform block height, ideal for insulation boards.
Beam stiffness depends on depth-to-span ratio and wire positioning.
Rackham's moulded 175mm beams allow precise wire placement, reducing camber and deflection, especially under load.
Rackhams can supply a 440mm x 100mm x 90mm block that sits on the foundation blockwork under the outer skin of the cavity wall to align the internal and external courses.
Or alternatively a 385mm x100mm x 45mm slip brick that sits under the beams to align the internal and external courses.
We have a range of ancillary blocks. These include coursing blocks, closures and slip bricks in various sizes.
