Introducing MAXRaft Base

Even as our entry-level option to meet and exceed building code requirements on soft ground, TC2 or expansive soils, MAXRaft Base helps reduce energy demand and contributes to more sustainable building practices.

Why Choose MAXRaft Base?

  • Single Insulation Layer: One layer of insulation, reducing labour costs onsite. 

  • Cost-Effective: Designed as an affordable option for projects where a full MAXRaft or MAXRaft Plus isn’t within the budget.

  • Proven Technology: Uses the same high-quality materials, design and manufacturing process as our premium systems.

  • Onsite Efficiency: Precut materials reduce waste onsite, simple easy process to follow onsite. 

 


When MAXRaft Base Makes Sense

  • Projects with tight budgets but a desire for insulation benefits.

  • Renovations or extensions to an existing slab where a full MAXRaft isn’t practical.

  • Stepping stone builds – start with Base now, aim for the full premium MAXRaft on future projects.
