POD floors have increasingly become the preferred option for builders due to their speed of installation and economic benefits.
Koolfoam provides pods that are cut from a solid block to a specified size, typically 1800mm*1200mm*200mm. As with all our polystyrene it is stress released in our kiln so that pods remain flat.
The benefits of the Koolfoam pod flooring system are as follows:
- lower cost raft construction versus complex foundation requirements provides immediate construction cost benefit at some sites.
- quicker construction time due to lack of foundation trenching
- 5x thermal efficiency, due to reduced heat loss from the concrete floor into the substrate. Reduced electricity consumption over the life of the dwelling represents a significant consumer cost saving especially when used with other energy managing ‘eco-home’ technologies such as passive solar. Resulting energy savings and consequent reductions in CO2 emissions over the life of the flooring system are significant.
