Inverted prestressed ‘T’ shaped concrete beams are laid down with standard concrete blocks between them providing an immediate working platform –beam & block floors provide good sound and thermal insulation and eliminate any problems caused by ground movement or sloped land. In comparison to timber beams, they offer a longer span and are also maintenance free – unaffected by cold and wet weather. They are also draughtproof, damp proof and fire resistant.
Poundfield beams are made from a precision steel mould using pre-stressed steel wires covered in a bespoke concrete design to give a high quality product, this process enables Poundfield to have a superior finish to other suppliers known as Wet-Cast finish or A-Grade.
Our precast concrete beams are suitable for use in a number of building projects, from one off properties to multi-million pound developments. Our flooring division specialises in the following sectors: large contract sites, installations and project management, self-build support and technical consultations, extensions to domestic houses, full technical support to builders merchants, commercial and bespoke projects – from patios to railway platforms.

Using infra-red beams for ultra-precise measurements, the 11 beams are arranged to different lengths ready for cutting. Due to our unique cutting machine – it’s the only one in the country – we can cut 11 beams to different lengths at the same time. This means our production schedules are flexible to tie in with our clients’ demands.
