By Mitchell Anderson Cena


Building a new property requires various hours of thinking as to what systems and products will be used throughout the building process. One thing in particular that may not get too much thought is the concrete foundations in which the home is built on. There are many advantages to gain by choosing floating concrete foundations for your property, and the RibRaft waffle floating foundation and Cupolex dome concrete slab system are becoming popular choices in residential and commercial properties for this.

The purpose of these floating concrete foundations is to make your home a safer and more stable one - this is now more important to homeowners after the recent Christchurch earthquakes. It is proven to withstand extreme nature conditions, and is the most energy efficient concrete foundation available for installation.

RibRaft waffle floating foundations are ideal for all homes. Using plastic spacers, polystyrene pods, steel reinforcing pods and concrete mix, this concrete foundation is made, and the installation process is fairly easy, taking considerably less time than other traditional concrete flooring options.

The Cupolex patended concrete dome slab system is a cost effective and eco-friendly option to other traditional concrete foundations available. The system is environmentally friendly, as it is made from recycled non-toxic polypropylene. Using basic hand tools, this system is easy to be installed once on site.

Both of these concrete foundations offer a higher level of insulation for the home and have immense strength. They are also suitable for having underfloor heating installed once the foundation has been laid.

Licensed building practioners are the ones to contact when enquiring about concrete floating foundations. To ensure that you get the best system for your home, meet onsite with the contractor to discuss your property's need and requirements.
