I been in construction almost 30 years now and also watched a bunch of new videos for net zero homes. Out of I'd guess 100 or so videos this is the first one I have seen that safety is taken sierious. I just wanted to say thank you to the company doing the install for doing it right and doing it safe!!!! Fall protection while unloading a truck is never seen . I'm glad to see everyone wants to go home alive at the end of the day.
Does anyone know how the thermal performance of the insulation blocks compares to say 150mm PIR insulation that might normally be laid over a standard beam and block construction?
Hi we are doing an installation of something very similar. What do you recommend we use to cut the top sheet ? It’s 150mm eps grey topsheet. Using a hand saw can get tiring and takes a lot of time if doing multiple floors.
I don’t understand why the blocks fit inside the beams ( like block and beam) instead of butting up on top of the beams. This would provide insulation on top of the cold beam?
Hi Brian, Great question and yes! Our WarmFloor Pro system is compatible with underfloor heating - plastic pegs can simply be pushed into the EPS panels to hold underfloor heating pipes in-situ. I hope this helps? Team Milbank

Hola Dra. Quím. Nora Di Giorno, gracias por tu pregunta! La breve respuesta es que nuestro sistema contiene un aditivo ignífugo para no presentar un peligro de incendio indebido cuando se instala correctamente. Suministramos WarmFloor Pro como solución térmica solo para plantas bajas. Luego, el piso debe terminarse con un acabado estructural de concreto aplicado sobre el producto. Si se produjera un incendio dentro del edificio, tendría que romper el revestimiento de hormigón antes de que alcanzara la lámina superior de EPS y los paneles de relleno, lo cual es poco probable. El único lugar donde está expuesto el EPS es en el vacío debajo del piso y el suelo, y aunque reconocemos que existe un pequeño riesgo de incendio en una subestructura, la probabilidad de que esta zona se encienda es extremadamente improbable. Sin embargo, en el improbable caso de que ocurriera un incendio en el vacío de la subestructura, el aditivo asegura que el producto se autoextinguirá tan pronto como se elimine la fuente del incendio. ¡Espero que esto ayude!
Do you also supply foul pipe hangers for the beams? I have a steel reinforced ring beam footing that sits on piles, the ground under the beams might fall away abit, so can't put foul pipes on the ground, they have to be suspended.
Unfortunately we do not and have not heard of anyone opting for that method due to prestressed floors ‘bouncing’ and therefore the pipes/joints moving. If possible, we would suggest calling a groundworker for their opinion. Thanks.
@@TheMilbankGroup I never mentioned anything about the floor "bouncing" I'm talking about the ground under the beams dropping, or falling away abit, therfore if the foul pipes are on the ground and not suspended, they will sink with the ground under the beams, and you will get back falls in your pipes. By the way, I build houses for a living, and it is pretty much standard practice now.
And what about the land dirt that remains under the floor? I will have to put some small ventilators in order to change the air below? What will happen when a snake or mice start to enter beneath? I will have to ......feed them as pets in order not to chew my floor? Put concrete and make the floor on the concrete base
Hi there, Indeed it can! WarmFloor Pro is ideal for any ground floor home extension, providing fantastic thermal properties to keep energy costs to a minimum. Thanks
@@TheMilbankGroup Thanks, can you add underfloor heating and screed over without the top sheet, or should the top sheet be applied first and then underfloor heating?
@@TheStressD You can indeed! WarmFloor Pro is completely compatible with underfloor heating, the pipes are simply held in with plastic pegs that are inserted into the EPS TopSheet. The system does require the TopSheet in all scenarios, therefore for underfloor heating; - Place beams - Add EPS infill blocks - Place TopSheet - Place underfloor heat pipes and fix to TopSheet. - Lay structural concrete topping & reinforcement. Hope this helps!
My house was build in the 50 and I can't even drill the holes to hang a curtain pole without using SDS drill. Houses these day are being build using cheap material but the prices aren't stays high.
The same flooring system in Taylor Wimpey's new build homes but a different brand is SHOCKING for the vibration when the washing machine is on full spin also to mention even when walking through rooms you can see the movement in the cupboards search Google and you will see the UK homeowner reviews soon as you move in they don't care they say it's within regs
Hi Carl, great question! More often than not, our WarmFloor Pro system is actually less expensive than it’s standard concrete beam & block counterpart. At the time of writing, based on a 50m² area with max centres, using 150mm beams, both Ex-Works costs from Milbank Concrete Products are as follows: - Beam and Block (7.3N medium density), including slips: £1,040 - WarmFloor Pro, including beams, EPS infill blocks, EPS top sheet (75mm) and concrete closure blocks: £997 In this example, WarmFloor Pro is ~4% lower than an equivalent beam and block floor, while typically providing a U-value of no worse than 0.19W/m²K along with the additional benefit of being slightly quicker and easier to install! I hope that helps, but please feel free to contact us directly if you would like more information. You can do so by visiting our website www.milbank.co.uk Thank you, MCP Team.

Hi Mahdi, thanks for your question! The brief answer is that our system does contain a fire-retardant additive so as not to present an undue fire hazard when installed correctly. We supply WarmFloor Pro as a thermal solution for ground floors only. The floor should then be finished with a structural concrete topping applied above the product. If a fire broke out within the building, it would have to breach the concrete topping before it would reach the EPS top sheet and infill panels, which is unlikely. The only place where the EPS is exposed is in the void below the floor and ground, and while we acknowledge there is a small risk of a sub-structure fire, the probability of this zone igniting is extremely unlikely. However, in the unlikely event that a fire did occur in the sub-structure void, the additive ensures that the product will self-extinguish as soon as the fire source is removed. I hope this helps!
