MrP Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 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.

jamiehamy Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamiehamy Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
