Padstones

Padstones are used in construction to support the load-bearing weight of other building materials such as lintels and joists. Their wider surface area helps to distribute the load more safely and evenly, causing less pressure on the narrower structure on top. They are primarily used to strongly support walls and prevent them from cracking and sagging under extreme weights.

Concrete padstones are normally made from precast concrete. This is a special, engineered type of concrete that is designed to withstand highly compressive weights. Pad stones are available in a range of standard sizes, so that difficult and precise cutting often isn’t required and they can be installed directly. A structural engineer will usually provide a minimum bearing length that is tailored to the project.

While you can install padstones on cavity walls, it is important to make sure each leaf has its own padstone. A single padstone must not be placed above over the two leaves and over the cavity, as this will cause unwanted thermal bridging.

Our padstones are supplied by leading brand Huws Grey. If you have any questions about sizing, how to fit padstones, or any other information, please give our excellent team a call on 01752 692 762.
