Innovative Under Concrete Slab Insulation by Foamex

Foamex is a vanguard of cutting-edge under concrete slab insulation using the cost-effective properties of polystyrene. The Australian-owned and operated company has specialised in the design, manufacture and distribution of polystyrene innovations since 1982. The product development team at Foamex proudly presents Diamond Pods as the ideal solution to insulating from under the building foundation.

What are Diamond Pods?
Foamex Diamond Pods are waffle pod void formers, designed specifically for under concrete slab insulation in domestic, commercial and industrial applications. The lightweight, yet structurally strong polystyrene provides support while minimising the effects of soil movement. In addition, Diamond Pods reduce the amount of concrete required for a build, resulting in fewer costs and construction time as compared to traditional concrete pours.

Diamond Pods are comprised of moulded cells within the waffle pod design, and natural air pockets in the expanded polystyrene, thereby achieving a higher level of insulation. With high, long-term R-values, the void formers provide an insulation benefit of up to R1.0 (W/mK thermal resistance). In action, Diamond Pods remarkably reduce energy consumption in the home.

According to Expanded Polystyrene Australia (EPSA), EPS waffle pods are part of a revolution in slab construction methods. The insulation material allows for the creation of stronger, and better engineered slabs.
