Precast Floors
What to use where:
FLOOR TYPE
T-Beam
Spans under 4m
Useful where:
Site access is poor - can be manually lifted
There are awkward shapes
There are a lot of services to accommodate
Structure exists - can be accommodated in pockets
Internal walls only 100mm wide
Useful where:
Cantilevers up to 1500mm are required
Airborne sound resistance of 300kg/m2 is needed
Crane is being hired to install floor - smaller crane needed as only 600mm wide
Useful where:
Cost is important - most economical span:depth ratio
Floor depth is important - achieves largest span with minimum depth
Can be fitted into steel beams to reduce overall floor depth
There are specific requirements every floor is bespoke
Service openings are factory formed
Can be manufactured to suit almost any structure: concrete, steel, block work
Easily manufactured to suit unusual details & angles
Useful where:
Buildings have a lot of external structural elements
There are high concentrated point loads
HA traffic loadings are required
Progressive collapse detail is needed
There are structural elements such as beams & balconies to be tied in
The building is over 4 stories
A continuous floor design is needed
Useful where:
There are large openings to accommodate
A mechanical connection between floor plate and topping is desirable

Hollowcore
Acheson & Glover prestressed Hollowcore flooring will take the
stress out of flooring for you. Manufactured in depths ranging
from 150mm - 500mm.
NO PROPPING
In most cases propping is not required
with Hollowcore flooring, saving time
and money. The area below the floor
remains free from congestion allowing
other trades to progress unhindered.
DESIGN FLEXIBILITY
Prestressed Hollowcore floors can be
designed to suit a very wide range of
buildings and meet most project criteria.
QUALITY FINISH
State of the art manufacturing techniques
ensure a quality finish. Direct decoration
using suitable materials is possible in
many projects.
DIAPHRAGM ACTION
Once the Acheson & Glover units have
been grouted they can be assumed
to provide a floor providing full
diaphragm action.

SERVICE OPENINGS
Service Openings, with a diameter less than 75mm,
can be created through units after installation by
drilling centrally through the cores. You must consult
with our design office before commencing this work.
Generally service openings up to 400mm wide in a
single standard unit width are permitted subject to
satisfying design criteria. These should be factory
formed.

FIRE RESISTANCE
Acheson & Glover Prestressed Hollowcore floor units
have a minimum 1 hour fire rating (BS8110 Section 4
Table 4.9). Ratings of up to 2 hours can be achieved
depending on design criteria. Contact our technical
department for details.
SOUND RESISTANCE
Acheson & Glover Hollowcore floor units have a
high resistance to both impact and airborne sound
transmission and contribute to satisfying the latest
building regulations.
FINISHES
Our units are cast on heated steel casting beds,
providing a high standard of finish, to Type A, Clause
6.11.3 of BS8110, and are suitable in appropriate cases
for direct decoration. The soffit is suitable for direct
application of a textured paint finish where this is
applied in accordance with the manufacturers

T-Beam Floor
The Acheson & Glover T-Beam offers a cost effective structural
flooring option. It is particularly suitable where the infill depth
exceeds 600mm and where a structural floor is required by
building control.
Ideal for sites with poor access
Can easily accommodate awkward shapes
Easily accommodates services
Can be inserted into an existing structure
Available ex-stock in 50mm increments
Design
The floors are designed by
Acheson & Glover to support
loadings appropriate to their
intended use, eg. as dwellings
or as offices. Generally we are also
able to allow for non-loadbearing
partition walls in our design.
Technical support is available
from Acheson & Glover, who will
be pleased to offer technical
advice on any specific application.

Suitable for concentrated point loads
Suitable for HA/Traffic loadings

Design
By involving the UltraFloor technical team at an early stage,
qualified engineers will ensure that the most effective precast
concrete solution can be achieved.
Installation
UltraFloor is delivered and fitted with a lorry mounted crane.
Suitable access roads should be provided.
Propping
Propping may be required for long spans but is recommended in
most cases to remove any variation in soffit levels and should be
erected before grouting takes place. The props would also provide
additional support for heavy construction loads.
SOUND RESISTANCE
Acheson & Glovers UltraFloor has a high resistance to both impact
and airborne sound transmission and contributes to satisfying the
latest building regulations.
