Hi Ozge, I agree with David, however I there is timber floors further in the house which are now blocked off by the concrete floor you need to get some air flow under those timber floors otherwise they will rot within 10 years. Regards, Richard.

Hi ozge , I am guessing that the floor was previously wood the air bricks are there to provide ventilation underneath the old wood floor. now you have concrete the air bricks are not needed.
