Introducing Firth’s latest innovations to the RibRaft HotEdge® range of foundation solutions: HotEdge Extra® and HotEdge Base®.
Complimenting the current HotEdge system, used for brick veneer clad homes, HotEdge Extra is an integrated solution specifically developed for non-brick veneer cladding systems on RibRaft® (pod) or RibRaft X-Pod® foundations.
HotEdge Base® in conjunction with any other RibRaft product, provides under slab perimeter insulation to achieve even higher thermal performance by helping to close a buildings thermal envelope and reduce heat loss.
These fully integrated thermal solutions are designed and tested specifically with Firth foundation systems to assist in attaining Homestar™ points. Our R-values have been proved via 3D thermally modelling to help you achieve compliance with the H1, (5th Edition) updates.
