November 22, 20169 yr Hi all, Saw this used for the first time on site today and very impressed. It appears to have addressed some of the thermal bridge detailing commonly associated with beam and block floors and looking through the tech specs it offers some pretty impressive thermal performance along with the practicality of trad foundations and beam and block construction. Also dead quick to install, as the panels come straight off the back of the wagon with a hiab and then it only needs grouting up - i reckon you would have a reasonable sized house done and grouted in half a day. http://www.creaghconcrete.co.uk/spantherm/ho-it-works.html?p=277 Not sure on prices etc. - will be interesting to see if they are competitive.
November 22, 20169 yr They wouldn't quote me for 270m2. Neither would Bison. I went with Tetris instead who were excellent to deal with and very similar thermal properties.

Or was there some other reason they would not quote? I would be interested as we are looking to use them when the time comes. PW.

November 23, 20169 yr Always worth trying tho. Jet floor wouldn't quote, said they wouldn't be competitive but eventually I persuaded them - they weren't that far off either.
December 5, 20169 yr Just a heads up guys, here is a supplier of insulated slabs similar to Creagh's Spantherm http://www.nu-span.com/index.html I've no affiliation, just came across them through work.
