Slabs make sense.
Slab-on-grade foundations use less concrete than frost wall foundations, cost less, involve less digging, and avoid the thankless task of keeping water out of a New England basement.
In high-performance, low-environmental impact buildings, the case becomes even stronger. Slabs–also called frost-protected shallow foundations–minimize site disturbance, simplify drainage, add thermal mass to the living space, and are a perfect match for passive solar and in-floor radiant heat.
But forming and pouring a slab, surrounding it with insulation, and then protecting that insulation from exposure and impact has always been a cumbersome, unsatisfying process. So we at G-O Logic developed and patented our own cost-effective slab foundation system, using superinsulating modular forms that stay in place after the pour.
The result is a foundation that installs quickly, supports virtually any residential-scale framed structure, meets the stringent Passive House energy efficiency standard, and saves enough in labor alone to beat the cost of a conventional slab.
So now the best foundation is also the least expensive and simplest to build. It’s the smart way to get your next project up out of the ground.
- Prep: Scrape topsoil, install perimeter drain, compact gravel
- Flowable fill: Pour, level
- Insulating forms and air barrier
- Slab
- Drive away in an empty pickup
GO Logic’s patented foundation system:
- Saves time and material
- Saves energy
- Costs less
- Works with any type of wood-frame construction, from conventional to Passive House
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]GO Logic has patented its high performance, slab-on-grade foundation, made cost-effective by utilizing an extruded foam perimeter that acts as a form for the poured concrete.
GO Logic is offering this detail for use by outside architects and contractors through a per-use licensing fee of $500. Contact us for more information.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Patented Foundation System
