This Grade 13/18 anti heave board functions as a protective layer beneath reinforced concrete floor insulation slabs, reducing ground heave impact by limiting upward force transmission to your structure.
The 90mm Cordek Cellcore HXS Grade 13/18 is engineered and calibrated for concrete depths up to 460mm, having undergone comprehensive testing to guarantee consistent performance delivery.
Our standard range features various depths and grades to suit typical soil heave potential and concrete depth combinations. We also supply variations for pile cap and ground beam applications, or where integrated insulation, permanent formwork, or passive gas venting is needed.
The 90mm Cellcore HX S range protects reinforced concrete floor slabs from upward forces caused by ground heave effects.

For concrete thicknesses between 1220mm and 2000mm, additional Cellcore grades are available. For further guidance, contact the InsulationBee Technical Team on 02038839057 / 02038839057.
Each 90mm 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 during a 16-hour curing period. This is termed the "SAFE LOAD."
When the predetermined load threshold is reached, the polystyrene legs of the 90mm Cordek panels will buckle and collapse due to underlying ground movement, referred to as the "FAIL LOAD."
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 on the following page.
