UNIQUE ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY VOID FORMERS

IS THE EARTH MOVING UNDER YOUR FEET?


Well if you live in Britain, then the answer is invariably YES. Clayboard is strategically designed to prevent structural building damage caused by ground movement! The damage risk posed by ground movement is well known to Structural Engineers, Builders and contractors and with fluctuations between drought and flood that seems to be increasing each year in our green and pleasant land, the ground is constantly shrinking and expanding causing havoc to buildings without void formers and foundation stabilisers installed! We cannot stop the earth from doing what it does naturally but we can allow it to move freely with no cost to our commercial and residential properties by using Clayboard!

SO WHAT IS IT, AND HOW DOES IT WORK?


Clayboard is an environmentally friendly, versatile, void former system, completely unique in design and manufacture. It is a biodegradable honeycomb core set between lightweight polypropylene facings and once installed creates a true void allowing natural ground movement to occur without exerting any pressure on the ground slabs. Water is introduced to the Clayboard once the concrete is set, strategically de-generating the honeycomb centre of the Clayboard, ultimately leading to the creation of a true void and allowing nature to take its course.......... Simple but incredibly effective!
