Faster
•Less ground preparation•Clip together components•Reduce groundworks time by 20%+
Warmer
•Can deliver thermal values as low as 0.08 w?m2k•Eliminates cold bridging•Meets passive house certifcation
Cheaper
•Is faster to install by 20%+•Reduces concrete quantity by 50%+•Greatly reduces home running costsSo How Does a Passive Found Insulated Foundation Work?Using the outstanding compressive and insulating properties of the Structural EPS, combined with reinforcing steel bar and concrete, Passive Found functions in a similar manor to traditional raft or trench foundations, only to a far higher thermal and structural level. House foundations are designed for each individual building, to deliver the best and most cost effective site specific design.When compared to the typical current foundation solutions, Passive Found is more straightforward to install, faster to complete and extremely cost effective.
