It’s been a couple of weeks. We now have steel reinforcing supplies and the all important Maxraft EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) panels on site.
One of the choices we’ve made to achieve a comfortable energy efficient home, is to go with a Maxraft slab. Maxraft, is New Zealand’s only (at the time of writing) fully insulated slab. Unlike traditional waffle slabs, the Maxraft slab has a continuous layer of insulation between the ground and concrete as well around the perimeter. Because of this, heat loss through the slab is dramatically reduced and as a result underfloor heating systems are more effective.
