Floating concrete foundations - helping your home to become a more safe and stable one

By Mitchell Anderson Cena


When building a new property, most people would not give the concrete foundations that it is built on a second thought. But believe it or not, there are a number of advantages to be gained from choosing the right foundation for your home. The RibRaft waffle floating foundation and the Cupolex dome concrete slab system are fast becoming one of the most popular floating concrete flooring option for residential and commercial properties in New Zealand.

The main aim of floating concrete foundations is to ensure that your home is safer and more stable. After the recent earthquakes in Christchurch, this is fast becoming more important to all homeowners. Not only has this system proven to withstand extreme nature conditions (such as earthquakes), but is extremely energy efficient.

When it comes to your residential properties, the RibRaft waffle floating foundation system is a great choice. Using quality components - including steel reinforcing pods, plastic spacers, polystyrene pods and concrete mix, your new concrete flooring system can be installed in considerably less time than other traditional flooring options.

As well as being an environmentally friendly option, the Cupolex patended concrete dome slab system is a cost effective option for all home owners. Made from recycled non-toxic polypropylene, the installation process is fairly easy, and can be installed by a professional using basic hand tools.

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.

The first step towards having a floating concrete foundation installed is to consult a local licensed building practioner. By having them meet you onsite, you can go through your needs and requirements, and discuss what concrete flooring option is best suited for the property.
