General Description

The POLYPOD system is an eviromentally friendly and cost effective method for laying  concrete slabs in residential and light commercial applications. 

POLYPODS are quick, strong, and simple to install. Where soil conditions and water tables limit the use of conventional slabs POLYPODS are ideal. 

Compared to other  floor systems POLYPODs offer a number of signficant benefits: 
  • Saves time and money 
  • Eliminates the need to dig trenches and footings, and the need for extra sub-trades. 
The POLYPOD system requires only a level site and only one concrete pour, not two. Less excavation is required as the system is secured above the ground, consequently less soil or fill material is removed from site. 

The POLYPOD system is modular with simple components; two types of plastic spacers, pods, steel reinforcing mesh and chairs.  

Consider the advantages of the POLYPOD system 
  •  The insulation benefits are up to 5 times better than conventional floors. 
  • POLYPODs are solid - not hollow - guaranteeing the insulation rating. 
  • The finished floor is insulated from the ground temperature. 
  • Condensation is reduced or elimanted. 
  • The total energy savings are significant, solar and radiant heat is held within the slab.  
  • Increased strength with solid pods POLYPODS are solid - ensuring better load bearing capacity and greater resistance to damage. 
  • The lack of voids assists the installation of plumbing, heating and electrical services by controlling preciesly where the concrete is poured. 
  • POLYPODS are allow ease of traffic during the construction process. 
  • POLYPODS cannot collapse. 
  • Recycled Material Recycled EPS is incorporated into the POLYPOD which signficantly reduces the impact on climate change.
