T-Shaped Foundations
Building a T-shaped foundation is important to ensure that the ground doesn't freeze and create an unstable base. Once expert builders lay these foundations, you can start building walls on top of them very soon afterwards.
A T-shaped foundation is both a precautionary measure and an efficient use of space. The footing will be stronger to provide more support for the taller walls that surround it, while also being broader than them as well.
The concrete slab is poured between the walls to provide a solid foundation for your new home. You can also contact us if you are interested in T-shaped foundations or retaining walls.
The foundation will be made from a single layer of concrete best suited for freezing areas.
The concrete slab is typically several inches thick and consists of reinforcing rods at the edges for strength.
This concrete slab can be up to a foot in thickness, depending on what it needs to support.
We're experts at putting together cement structures because no matter what kind of environment you live in-whether its hot summers with blazing suns or cold winters where water freezes on surfaces-we have everything accounted for! You'll never need to worry about cracks forming from humidity change if there's a cast iron wire mesh.
Frost-Resistant
You might be surprised to find out that frost-protected foundations are a common way to protect the building footing, which is why it’s usually recommended for homes in colder areas and/or ones where there's more danger of ground freezing.
In order to maintain a comfortable temperature throughout the year, we use two firm polystyrene sheets as foundation insulation in this type of structure. One sheet is added at the base before pouring our slab and another will be placed on top once it's finished being constructed.
This is a new foundation type that allows for construction in areas prone to ground icing. Because of this, it has been modified so as not be affected by the freezing and thawing cycles.
