Concrete Padstones 140x215mm | Pre-Stressed | Naylor

The High-Density Concrete Padstone is manufactured from pre-stressed wet cast concrete and is designed to provide reliable structural load distribution in a wide range of construction applications. Measuring 330/440 x 140 x 215 mm, it offers a strong and stable bearing surface for supporting concentrated loads from steel beams, lintels, girders and other structural elements.

Padstones are commonly used to spread the load from a structural member across a larger area of masonry, helping to reduce stress on the supporting wall and improve overall structural performance. They are widely specified for use in residential extensions, new-build housing, commercial developments, industrial buildings and renovation projects.

The pre-stressed construction provides additional strength and durability, while the wet cast manufacturing process delivers consistent density and dimensional accuracy. With a 30-minute fire rating, this concrete padstone is suitable for use in applications where fire resistance forms part of the project specification.

Supplied ready to install, the padstone requires no additional preparation on site and can be incorporated directly into the build sequence. Compliance with BS 8110 provides confidence that the product has been manufactured to recognised structural standards.

Common applications include supporting steel beams, distributing loads beneath lintels, creating bearing points for structural steelwork, supporting masonry openings and reinforcing load-bearing wall sections. Its high-density concrete construction makes it suitable for demanding structural environments where reliable load transfer is essential.

For builders, contractors, structural engineers and developers, this high-density concrete padstone provides a dependable solution for achieving safe and effective load distribution within masonry and structural support systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a padstone for my project?

If you are installing a steel beam, lintel or other structural support, a padstone may be required to safely distribute the load into the supporting masonry. Your structural engineer or building designer will normally specify this.

What size padstone do I need?

The required padstone size will depend on the load being applied and the supporting wall construction. If you're unsure, our Technical Department can help review your project requirements.

Can Wade help me choose the correct padstone?

Yes. Our Technical Team can review drawings and specifications to help identify the most suitable padstone for your application.

Can this padstone be used with steel beams?

Yes. High-density concrete padstones are commonly used beneath steel beams to provide a suitable load-bearing surface and distribute concentrated loads.

Can this padstone be used with concrete lintels?

Yes. Padstones are often used where additional load distribution is required beneath concrete or steel lintels.

Is this padstone suitable for residential extensions?

Yes. Padstones are regularly specified for home extensions, loft conversions, structural alterations and new-build housing projects.

Does this padstone comply with recognised standards?

Yes. This padstone conforms to BS 8110 and is manufactured from pre-stressed wet cast concrete.

Does the padstone provide fire resistance?

Yes. This padstone provides a 30-minute fire rating.

Is the padstone supplied ready to install?

Yes. The padstone arrives ready for installation with no additional preparation required.

Do I need a padstone at both ends of a steel beam?

This will depend on the structural design and engineer's calculations. In many applications, padstones are installed at each beam bearing point.
