This Grade 7/10 anti heave board acts as a protective barrier beneath reinforced concrete floor insulation slabs, reducing the impact of ground heave by limiting the transfer of upward forces through the structure.

The 160mm Cordek Cellcore HXS Grade 7/10 is precisely calibrated to support concrete depths up to 220mm, having undergone comprehensive testing to confirm consistent performance against specified requirements.

Key Attributes:

1. Reduces upward force transmission to the structure caused by ground heave.
2. Provides a range of profiles and grades suitable for diverse applications.
3. BBA certified for assured quality and dependability.
4. Meets NHBC Technical Standards, confirming compliance with industry requirements.
5. Verified by BRE Global for Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), demonstrating environmental responsibility.
6. Precision-moulded construction ensures superior and uniform performance.
7. Available with optional Filcor insulation, functioning as permanent formwork for ground beams, or passive gas venting capability.
8. Backed by patented technology for distinctive performance benefits.

Our standard range features multiple depths and grades to suit the typical combinations of soil heave potential and concrete thickness commonly found in projects. We also supply variations for applications beneath pile caps and ground beams, or where integrated insulation, permanent formwork, or passive gas venting is required.

Applications

The 160mm Cellcore HX S range protects reinforced concrete floor slabs from upward forces resulting from ground heave effects.

Usability

For concrete thicknesses between 1220mm and 2000mm, further grades of Cellcore are available. For further advice please contact the InsulationBee Technical Team on 02038839057 / 02038839057.

Design Notes

1. Each 160mm Cellcore hxs grade is engineered to support a defined concrete thickness, plus an additional allowance for live loads of 1.5 kN/m², whilst demonstrating minimal creep compression over a 16-hour curing period. This combined capacity is termed the \"SAFE LOAD.\"

2. When the predetermined load threshold is reached, the polystyrene legs of the 160mm Cordek panels will buckle and collapse as the underlying ground moves upward, referred to as the \"FAIL LOAD.\"

3. During design, ensure the slab, beam, or pile cap is sized to accommodate the difference between its weight and the fail load, as shown in the design examples on the following page.
