The 160mm Cordek Cellcore HX S Grade 9/13 functions as a protective barrier beneath reinforced concrete floor insulation slabs, reducing the impact of ground heave by limiting upward force transmission to your structure.

This Anti Heave Board has been precisely engineered and tested for concrete depths up to 300mm, ensuring consistent performance across all specified load conditions and environmental factors.

Key Attributes:

1. Reduces upward forces caused by ground heave affecting your structure.
2. Available in multiple profiles and grades for different project requirements.
3. BBA certified for quality assurance and performance reliability.
4. Meets NHBC Technical Standards for industry compliance.
5. Verified by BRE Global with Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) certification.
6. Manufactured using precision moulding for consistent, superior results.
7. Optional integrated Filcor insulation available as permanent formwork for ground beams or passive gas venting.
8. Protected by patented technology for distinctive performance benefits.

We supply a comprehensive range of depths and grades covering standard soil heave scenarios and concrete thickness combinations. Specialist variations are available for pile caps, ground beams, or applications requiring integrated insulation, permanent formwork, or passive gas venting.

Applications

The 160mm Cellcore HX S range protects reinforced concrete floor slabs from upward forces generated by 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 specific concrete thickness, plus an additional allowance for live loads of 1.5 kN/m², with minimal creep compression over a 16-hour curing period. This performance level is defined as the "SAFE LOAD."

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

3. During design, ensure the slab, beam, or pile cap is sized to handle the difference between its own weight and the fail load, as shown in the design examples provided.
