Spantherm used in Burry Port
In a recent housing development in Burry Port, Wales, Spantherm insulated precast concrete flooring was used to take the hassle out of the floor install.
The development is a 105 mixed tenure site for Pobl Group, with a small number being allocated as affordable homes and more than 80 being open market housing units. The timber-framed site is being completed across three phases, plus enabling works and infrastructure and completed in 2022.
Spantherm is designed specifically for use at ground floor level in residential and small-medium sized commercial projects. The composite slab combines structural grade reinforced concrete and high performance expanded polystyrene insulation to provide a thermally efficient structural floor.

Spantherm is installed in just minutes, not days. By producing high performance insulated concrete units off-site we have redefined the speed of installing a fully insulated floor. This is the next generation of structural flooring systems designed as the efficient alternative to labour intensive beam and block installations.
Housebuilders increasingly explore the opportunities for new ideas to reduce labour onsite and boost efficiency in the build it makes sense that they start with the ground floor. The initial appeal of Spantherm is clear, as a typical floor on a detached house or a pair of semis is fitted onsite in less than two hours.
The client opted for the work to be completed by Creagh’s expert fitting team, requiring no labour from them. Once in place and grouted, the floor achieves its full structural capability within 72 hours but building activity can commence on perimeter walls within 24 hours.
