WHAT IS THE PASSIVE SLAB?
The Passive Slab is an Insulated Foundation System that works much like a raft foundation. The Passive Slab is designed to deliver the lowest U-value available on the market, eliminating the critical wall to floor cold bridge. Expanded Polystyrene is used to wrap the foundation of the building ensuring there is no thermal break between the wall and the foundation.
The structural strength of the Passive Slab results from the combination of Expanded Polystyrene (EPS 300), concrete and steel. Typical loads for a two story house built with standard concrete block work are 4.5/5.5 tonnes per linear meter. The standard Cavity Wall KORE double L passive slab ringbeam is usually designed to take 7.2 tonnes per linear meter, and can be designed to take larger loads if necessary.

Eliminate critical wall-floor Cold Bridging
Reduce underfloor heating heat loss through rising walls from 65% to 12%
Price is comparable with traditional strip foundation
Concrete quantity is reduced by 50%, reducing the bill and carbon footprint
Suitable for all ground conditions while easily accommodating the radon barrier
Risk of condensation, fungus and mould growth behind the skirting board is eliminated
The thermal capacity of KORE EPS will not diminish over time and is unaffected by water
Achieve U-values from 0.08 W/m²k to 0.011 W/m²k - meeting all current building regulations

WHY USE THE PASSIVE SLAB INSULATED FOUNDATION SYSTEM?
Reducing your impact on the environment
The KORE Passive Slab is suitable for all construction types, including cavity wall, timber frame, insulated concrete formwork (ICF), solid block wall etc. The KORE Passive Slab system can be supplied as a fully engineered system. This can include:
• Foundation load calculations• Design certificates for foundation• Foundation plans showing ringbeams, thickenings and sectional details through the
principle elements of the foundation such as the reinforcement required. Alternatively, if there is an engineer on-site the KORE Passive Slab can be manufactured to their specifications.
A full set of typical details are available upon request.
