Made “tuff” and suitable for any raft or pod floor system. Tuff Pods concrete slabs create buildings that are comfortable to live and work in.

An efficient building starts with an efficient foundation. EXPOL polystyrene underfloor insulation reduces a building’s energy consumption by reducing the need for heating. Efficient thermal protection through the use of EPS insulation can save up to 10% of a building’s heat loss.
Thanks to the EXPOL Unimax spacer, Tuff Pods are compatible with any raft or floating pod floor system. The spacer clips together to form any size spacing required. EXPOL Unimax spacers also work in conjunction with any other spacer type.
Compared to other insulation products, expanded polystyrene (EPS) offers superior resistance to the ingress of water. Samples of EPS retrieved after 30 years in the ground showed less than 1% water content by volume. Boards periodically submerged over the same amount of time showed less than 4% water content.
