The Eco-Slab™ system provides a new, fast and cost saving construction method for ground floors, combining insitu formwork with permanent insulation for the lifetime of the building. Light weight and easy to handle, Eco-Slab is ideal for casting a ground floor slab in small, contained spaces with limited access, such as a back gardens or where road access is limited. Used in place of block and beam, it has excellent thermal properties, complies with all regulatory requirements and can cut costs by 30% and installation time by up to 80%. It works with traditional building methods or used in conjunction with other technologies, can be used to form the base for thermal envelope.
