Over twenty years ago Firth created RibRaft® - New Zealand’s first pod floor system. The Firth RibRaft system has now become one of NZ's most popular solutions for residential and light commercial flooring. This innovative method of concrete floor construction sits 'on' the ground not 'in' the ground making it seismically strong. The system uses polystyrene pods, steel reinforcing rods, plastic spacers and RaftMix™ low carbon concrete. Each of the components fit simply together, dramatically reducing labour time and costs.
Only Firth RibRaft Code mark certification includes a statement on H1 compliance.
Advantages of RibRaft® floor system include:
- low carbon concrete
- seismically strong
- energy-efficient concrete floors
- time, labour and cost savings (by eliminating the need to dig footings)
- cleaner construction, with far less excavated material and waste
CodeMark
Firth RibRaft® is now certified through CertMark Australasia (CMA) which specialises in the certification of building products and hardware to both Australian and New Zealand Standards and the Building Codes of Australia and New Zealand.
