SLAB CONCRETE
Slab concrete is an above ground engineered flooring system that delivers real benefits over conventional floors and foundations.
A grillage of beams within the concrete slab provides a stiffer and stronger final product than a conventional 100mm concrete slab on grade, and because of its inherent strength a deepened perimeter footing can usually be omitted.
Where to Use
Slab concrete can be used on all ground conditions regardless of your land classification, including:
Residential foundation and floor slabs
Shed floors
Light commercial buildings
Warehouses
Benefits
Concrete slab has the following benefits over conventional floors and foundations:
Minimal excavation and fast build time
Assurance of engineer designed strength
Design can be tailored to any land classification
Sustainable pod option available
Improved thermal performance (R-value)
Easy installation of services
CodeMark Certified & BRANZ Appraised
Sustainable pod option available
Our concrete slabs now include Q-POD as a sustainable alternative to traditional polystyrene pod void formers within the raft foundation system. Polystyrene pods can be directly substituted for Q-POD, with four pods replicating the standard 1100mm x 1100mm sqm and 220mm deep polystyrene pods.
QPOD has the following benefits:
100% recyclable with zero landfill waste
Reduced site waste
Reduced transportation and storage costs to site
Easy and fast installation
Certified solution
Ashby’s concrete slabs are BRANZ Appraised and CodeMark Certified. Having a CodeMark Certification means building consent authorities will accept our concrete slabs as complying with the New Zealand Building Code (when used as specified in the CodeMark certificate). You will still need to apply for building consent, however the CodeMark means no delays at council.
FLOOR CONCRETE
Floor concrete steel fibre reinforced concrete is an economical alternative to traditional crack control mesh reinforcement.
Our floor concrete is manufactured in NZRMCA audited concrete plants and arrive on site as a pre-reinforced end product, ready to use.
Steel fibre reinforced concrete is an economical alternative to traditional crack control mesh reinforcement and can be used for house slabs, shops, warehouses or any lightly loaded concrete ground floor.
The concrete arrives on site pre-reinforced, offering an easy and cost effective way to reduce crack formation and eliminates the cost of loading, storing, moving, cutting/tripping and placing mesh and chairs.
Where to Use
Our floor concrete can be used on any lightly loaded ground slabs when building on ‘good ground’, including:
Residential floor slabs
Shed floors
Small commercial buildings
Car parks
Warehouses
Benefits
Our flooring solutions have many benefits which all contribute to considerable savings, including:
Faster build time
Significant cost savings available
No traditional mesh required
Fewer bookings needed for foundation construction
