Why choose MAXRaft? Fully insulated, R-value 3x the building code Reduced heating bills Healthy, comfortable homes Fully installed service Up to 40% efficiency gains with underfloor heating Site specific engineering Suitable for good ground, TC2, piles and expansive soils Seismically strong Phone: 0800 MAXRaft (629 723) Email: [email protected] or [email protected] WWW.MAXRAFT.CO.NZ “Having made the decision to install underfloor heating in my new home I knew from previous experience that I wanted a fully insulated foundation to prevent heat loss. After a bit of searching around I came across MAXRaft and knew straight away it was exactly what I was looking for. Combining MAXRaft with a heated slab has given me a warm home in every room all year round and the best thing is my power bills are a lot lower than many people I know. During winter the cost of my hydronic heating has averaged 60.8c per m2 per month! When I build my next home I will definitely be using a fully insulated slab again.” - Terry Robb, Christchurch “In our experience MAXRaft is one of the most efficient ways of prepping a concrete slab than any other system. There is limited bracing and boxing required as the MAXRaft is prefabricated in the factory and delivered onto site ready to be installed. Its rating is a R4.5 which makes any building using it extremely well insulated. Highly recommended.” - Evolution Series, Queenstown Don’tWaste Your Energy. 80% of heat loss within the slab is at the perimeter, MAXRaft will ensure this heat is retained in your home.
