The unique performance characteristics of EPS, expanded polystyrene, has lead to the development of products such as Claymaster and Cellcore that alleviate ground movement pressures known as clay heave. Other problems emanating from the ground such as methane and radon gases can be overcome by using the specially designed range of Ventform products.
Used as permanent shuttering for cast in-situ reinforced concrete, Claymaster and Cellcore reduce pressure on ground beams in piled foundations and trench fills.
Additionally, Ventform, a moulded EPS panel, vents harmful gases from beneath buildings and is suitable for both ground-bearing applications and beneath suspended ground-floor slabs.
