LB 300 HempBLOCK Load Bearing System

1. Steel Reinforced Concrete

Steel posts and timber Beams; This is a system where a steel foot or sleeve is attached to the top of the concrete or timber floor. It encases the steel posts that are lifted in once the wall is nearly completed, and connects with the timber lintels and bond beams, forming the load bearing system. The remaining space around the posts and beams is filled with a lightweight perlite/cement mix that is light, insulates and has very good fire resisting properties.
