open-plan living

Open plan living with plenty of light is the dream for many home owners today. To achieve this light and spacious feel without any internal walls means can mean expensive steel frames are required to break up the span into smaller elements. But thanks to the strength of BuildBetter Walling ( 5 times stronger than masonry ) steel posts can be eliminated and the floor loads easily supported without compromising thermal performance.

Superior Performance

BuildBetter Flooring

The BuildBetter Flooring system spreads the load of the building evenly across the footprint of the ground floor ensuring even ground pressure.

The insulating raft surrounds the part of the building touched by the ground and serves as a thermal-bridge free foundation.

Designed to support a load of 14tonnes/m2 means the BuildBetter Flooring rafts are strong enough to support a 3 storey construction with concrete walls and floors.

Certified by the Passive House Institute Darmstadt as component suitable for passive houses.

BuildBetter Walling

The continuous concrete core provides huge thermal stability and eliminates the need to design heating systems for peak demand.
