CCANZ has produced a summary leaflet outlining the range of benefits afforded by concrete slab-on-grade floors - Residential Concrete Slab-On-Ground Floors.
The leaflet explains how - defined as any concrete slab poured over soil, slab-on-grade concrete floors are becoming increasingly popular for new residential properties throughout New Zealand.
This increased uptake is based on a range of benefits that includes fire resistance, sound control, durability, value for money, and a huge range of attractive finishes.
Furthermore, as designers and their clients become more familiar with the principles of passive solar design and thermal mass, a concrete floor’s ability to offer an efficient alternative to traditional methods of heating in winter and cooling in summer will contribute to New Zealand homes becoming more comfortable and energy efficient.
