Polyfoam produce many products for the bulding and construction industry below are just some of the quality products produced by Polyfoam for use in different applications in building and construction.
ICF – Insulated Concrete Forms
ICF systems have been around for over 30 years here in Australia and Polyfoam manufacture products for Thermacell ICF Systems Aust P/L and also Insulbrick Australia. Polyfoam also manufacture Polywall our very own ICF product which is sold through both of the above companies as a fire rated wall system, further details on this can be found on our resources page. You can also keep up to date with our customer projects here.
Waffle Pods
Waffle Pods are a strong yet lightweight polystyrene waffle pod void former system for concrete slabs. Designed specifically for residential, commercial and industrial markets, Waaffle Pods provide under slab insulation and support, while reducing the effects of soil movement, and lowering the amount of concrete required for a build.
With Waffle Pods construction is quicker and more cost effective compared to traditional concrete pours. A higher level of insulation is achieved through the natural air pockets in the expanded polystyrene and the moulded cells within the waffle pod design. The clean finish and non-irritating surface makes Waffle Pods suitable for a range of residential, commercial, and industrial applications. Waffle Pods are also suitable for use with any bracket and steel reinforcing mesh systems.
According to Expanded Polystyrene Australia (EPSA), expanded polystyrene waffle pods have contributed to a revolution in slab construction methods, enabling stronger, better engineered slabs to be constructed faster and cost effectively over traditional methods. Unaffected by water, EPS waffle pods are therefore safer, as there are no trenches to cave in during construction. The inclusion of EPS waffle pods in a slab also adds an insulation benefit of up to R1.0 (W/mk thermal resistance), which helps to reduce energy consumption in the home.
Please note that Waffle Pods are sold in out Queensland and Tasmanian operations, all other states and territories are serviced by Foamex.

Polyunderfoot
Polyunderfoot is an Australian made Hydronic pipe template for in-floor hydronic installation. The unique panel provides insulation under the pipe installation to ensure that the heating and/or cooling developed is not lost to the slab and ground below it. With special nodules to hold the hydronic pipe installation in place and assist with the laying process Polyunderfoot makes the installation and use of hydronic in floor heating a cost effective solution for heating your home. Please see our resources page for more technical information on this fantastic product.
