The BuildBetter Flooring insulating foundation system is laid to form a “bath” for concrete to be poured into, while creating a cosy wrap of insulation that prevents heat loss and means toes stay cosy all year round.
Whereas traditional foundations rely on digging trenches to fill with concrete and focusing the load of the walls directly beneath where they are built, the BuildBetter Flooring system spreads the load of the building evenly across the footprint of the ground floor ensuring even ground pressure.
While an insulated raft slab is typically more expensive in material costs compared to alternatives, when labour costs and speed of installation are factored in it is the best solution for builders and owners.
