SuperSlab QPOD FAQs
What is SuperSlab?
Super Slab is an evolution of the raft foundation system using eco-friendly recycled pods in place of traditional polystyrene, available exclusively from Allied Concrete.
Is the system BRANZ Appraised and CodeMark Certified?
Yes, SuperSlab is the only sustainable CodeMark Certified raft foundation system in the market.
Is it Faster to Install than a Standard SuperSlab?
Yes, the unique interlocking pods and spacers make installation faster than using polystyrene pods.
How does SuperSlab QPOD compare in cost to using the current SuperSlab system?
When building on good ground SuperSlab QPOD may be slightly more expensive than using traditional polystyrene pods, however costs can be offset with the reduction in environmental footprint, transportation and storage costs combined with speed of installation.
Does SuperSlab QPOD use more concrete?
The QPOD system uses slightly more concrete than the current system.
Does it have an improved R-Value?
The R value is a function of the slab geometry. SuperSlab QPOD floors provide improved R value and thermal mass both of which contribute to a warmer floor. To further improve the R value, SuperSlab Warm-edge perimeter insulation can be included in the design using a Magroc Insulfound System (refer to Allied SuperSlab Technical Manual Section 7.0).
