Manufacturer: 225mm Cordek Cellcore HXS®

This 225mm Cordek Cellcore HX S Grade 13/18 functions as a protective barrier beneath reinforced concrete floor insulation slabs, counteracting ground heave by reducing the transfer of upward forces into your building structure.

The Anti Heave Board, particularly the 225mm Cordek Cellcore HXS in Grade 13/18, has been engineered and validated for concrete depths reaching 460mm, having undergone thorough testing to confirm consistent performance delivery.

Key Attributes:

1. Reduces upward forces transmitted through the structure from ground heave.
2. Provides a wide selection of profiles and grades suited to different project requirements.
3. Holds BBA certification for assured quality and dependability.
4. Meets NHBC Technical Standards, confirming compliance with industry best practice.
5. Verified by BRE Global for Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), demonstrating environmental responsibility.
6. Produced using precision moulding to guarantee superior, 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 offering distinctive performance benefits.

Our range encompasses various depths and grades to suit the typical combinations of soil heave potential and concrete depth you're likely to encounter. We also stock variations designed for pile caps and ground beams, or where integrated insulation, permanent formwork, or passive gas venting is required.

Applications

The 225mm Cellcore HX S range protects reinforced concrete floor slabs from upward forces caused 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 225mm Cellcore hxs grade is engineered to support a defined concrete thickness, plus an additional margin for live loads of 1.5 kN/m², whilst maintaining minimal creep compression over a 16-hour curing period. This combined capacity is termed the "SAFE LOAD."

2. When the predetermined load limit is reached, the polystyrene legs of the 225mm Cordek panels will buckle and fail due to upward 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.
