Savings
With the rising cost and decreasing availability of new stone and quality
fill, many people are using precast concrete floor slabs to form their ground
floor. Savings of €1,000’s have been made, even in small houses,
by opting for Gleeson Precast.
Security
Building Authorities and those supervising building practices will generally recommend precast floor slabs, especially in soft or sloping ground. Proper compaction of fill material is difficult to achieve and precast floor slabs as an alternative, eliminates the risk of sinking floors.
Speed
Gleeson Precast slabs are held in stock and an average size 
house can be floored with Gleeson Precast in less than
half a day. The use of Gleeson Precast presents major timesavings compared
to the lengthy process of placing fill, steel fixing, shuttering, pouring
& setting of concrete. In addition, the use of precast floors can
avoid the delay often caused by weather conditions.
Simplicity
In situations where there is a considerable amount of block work below
ground floor level it is often desirable to reduce the number of foundation
walls which will reduce cost. Gleeson Precast floor slabs can be used
to carry non load bearing block walls and hence facilitate a ‘spine
wall’ system.
