Ground Floors

Ground floor details split by floor type: ground bearing concrete slabs, beam and block floors, suspended timber floors, and other floors, which include garage floor upgrades for conversions. Each shows how the floor meets the external wall, insulation and damp-proofing.

Which ground floor type should I use? It depends on ground conditions, levels, programme and whether the floor is new or existing. Ground bearing slabs suit good ground; beam and block is common on sloping or poorer ground; suspended timber floors are common in existing homes.

Do you have details for upgrading existing floors? Yes, including garage floor upgrades and internal wall insulation junctions with existing suspended timber floors.
