Structural integrity is a vital requirement in concrete slabs. StyroPod waffle pods from The Foamex Group offer a quick and cost-effective way to provide your slabs with insulation and support.
According to Expanded Polystyrene Australia (EPSA), expanded polystyrene waffle pods have revolutionised under slab construction methods, enabling stronger, faster, and more cost-effective slabs to be constructed.
Foamex has taken this one step further with their uniquely diamond shaped EPS StyroPods, which offer optimal support for foot traffic during construction due to their thicker foam deck. This deck supports a concreter’s boot and allows for the load to be spread across a minimum of four support pillars.
Ideal for residential, commercial, and industrial construction, StyroPod waffle pods reduce the effects of soil movement as well as the amount of concrete required per build. You’ll also achieve a higher level of insulation due to the natural air pockets and moulded cells within the diamond pod.
Key features and benefits of StyroPod waffle pods:
