Raft Therm is a NSAI certified insulated foundation system used in the construction of residential homes and commercial buildings. Reduced cold bridging and exceptional U values as low as 0.1W/m²K are achieved by wrapping the sides and underneath of the concrete foundation and ground floor in a continuous layer of high density Expanded Polystyrene (EPS).

Benefits

  • Speed - Raft Therm is an efficient solution that delivers build programmers on time, concrete foundations and floors are poured simultaneously while rising walls are eliminated.
  • Cost Effectiveness - Raft Therm is comparable in price to traditional foundations offering exceptional value with superior thermal performance.
  • Eliminates cold bridge - Effective at conserving energy by drastically reducing heat loss through the floor and cold bridging through the rising walls.
  • Less concrete required - Reduces the amount of concrete required for the foundation between 50 and 60 percent. This reduces your costs for both material and labour, making an insulated foundation a cost-effective solution for your next build.
  • U-values - Reduced cold bridging and exceptional U values as low as 0.1W/m²K are achieved by wrapping the sides and underneath of the concrete foundation and ground floor in a continuous layer of high-density Expanded Polystyrene (EPS).
  • Compressive strength - The load-bearing components of Raft Therm are moulded from EPS 300, a high-density expanded polystyrene which has a high compressive strength of 300+ kPa or Kn/m².
  • Building Regulations & Nzeb - CE marked- manufactured to harmonized technical specification EN 13163:2012+A1:2015.
