Ultrafloor
Ultrafloor is a modular reinforced precast flooring system ideal for use in both domestic and smaller commercial projects.
- Ideal for creating stairwells, landings and internal balconies
- Eliminates need for steel in most stairwells
- Can cantilever up to 1500mm without additional cost
- 210mm deep – same depth as block for simple installation
- Can support roof loadings in most situations eliminating the need for steel beams
- In most cases block work first floor walls do not have to be supported by ground floor walls
- Simplifies foundations
- Available ex-stock in 50mm increments
UltraFloor provides the advantages of a concrete floor – improved sound insulation, better fire performance, an ideal base for underfloor heating and greater design flexibility, in a modular, off the shelf form.
The Acheson & Glover technical team will design the floor to give you optimum performance. The standard width of UltraFloor is 600mm.

Design Characteristics
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 & Glover’s UltraFloor has a high resistance to both impact and airborne sound transmission and contributes to satisfying the latest building regulations.
