The V-Tec Beam consists of a steel lattice girder cast onto a concrete foot.
The beams support infill blocks, mesh reinforcement and a structural screed to provide a potentially lightweight suspended floor.
V-Tec is unique in offering a floor beam engineered on the Rachl Girder principle.
This technology provides a combination of benefits unobtainable from any other system.
