    Each project starts the same way

  • Slide Title

    The site is marked out and soil stripped to the formation level.
    The actual depth will depend on the local site conditions.

    The free draining sub-base is installed in strict accordance with the engineer's specification.

    Button
  • Slide Title

    A base layer of grit (e.g. 4/8) is applied over the capillary-barrier layer of frost-proof material. The formation level provides a clean, flat and level base for the modules of ISOQUICK The Insulated Raft.

    The edge modules are assembled according to the supplied ISOQUICK installation plan. The dovetail locking system ensures a secure connection during installation and concreting work.

    Button
  • Slide Title

    The edge modules, which are custom manufactured specifically for each site, are first connected and then aligned with the profile boards.

  • Slide Title

    The last edge module fits perfectly into place!

    Button
  • Slide Title

    The thermally insulating boarding provided by the ISOQUICK edge modules is soon installed. It is then aligned again with the batter boards and checked by measuring the diagonals.

    Button
  • Slide Title

    The base modules and the top modules are now put in place. Continuous joints are avoided by covering the edge modules with top modules and by using an offset installation pattern.

    Button
  • Slide Title

    Installation can now proceed row-by-row. The offcuts from one row are used to start the next row, thus reducing waste to a minimum.

    Button
  • Slide Title

    The intelligent profile pattern system ensures that the individual modules are tightly positioned and that no sliding takes place during installation and concreting work.

    Button
  • Slide Title

    Cutting guides are moulded on the “smooth” sides of the modules to make cutting easier inside the grid. The modules can be easily cut using a hot wire cutter.

    Button
  • Slide Title

    Where pipes run through the thermal insulation holes are sawn out or drilled out, as shown here. The hole can be closed again using construction foam.

    Button
  • Slide Title

    ISOQUICK The Insulated Raft is completed and ready for reinforcement and concrete.

    Button
  • Slide Title

    A minimal amount of waste offcuts arises for an ISOQUICK The Insulated Raft of around 150 m², if the offset installation pattern is strictly adhered to.

    Button
  • Slide Title

    Not a problem! As usual, the edge modules are precut at the appropriate angle.

    Button
  • A row of base and top modules is laid at right angles to the edge modules. The remaining modules are installed in an offset pattern along the row.

  • Slide Title

    The reinforcement, typically, fabric sheets, is laid on concrete spacers , tied and checked prior to the pour.

  • Slide Title

    Robust, but simple the slab is ready to fill with concrete

    Button
  • Slide Title

    Concrete can be poured into the ISOQUICK The Insulated Raft using a crane or concrete pump, as shown here, without the need for further shuttering.

    Button
  • Slide Title

    The concrete is then finished in the usual manner.
