RibRaft
< BackThe Firth RibRaft® system is becoming one of NZ's most popular solutions for residential and light commercial flooring. This innovative method of concrete floor construction sits 'on' the ground not 'in' the ground making it seismically strong.
The system uses polystyrene pods, steel reinforcing rods, plastic spacers and RaftMix™ concrete. Each of the components fit simply together, dramatically reducing labour time and costs.
Advantages of RibRaft floor system include:
- seismically strong
- energy-efficient concrete floors
- time, labour and cost savings (by eliminating the need to dig footings)
- cleaner construction, with far less excavated material and waste
