Why Choose Diamond Pod® from Foamex?

Diamond Pod® from Foamex has many features and benefits, due to its physical properties.

Lightweight and Easy To Handle
Foamex' Diamond Pod® provides efficiency in the transport, handling and installation due to its lightweight expanded polystyrene composition. This characteristic saves time in construction and promotes the compatibility of the product to any bracket and steel reinforcing mesh systems. These mesh systems provide added durability and high performance.

Reduce the Effect of Soil Movement
Diamond Pod® requires minimal earthworks, since there is no need to dig internal trenches. The size and shape of the pillars forming the "Diamond" shape give maximum support and durability against the weight load required for the pods' setup, reinforcing steel placement and concrete application.
