50mm Jablite Claymaster Clay Heave Protection Board ( Pack of 12 )

The 50mm Claymaster Jablite Clay Heave Protection Board is a lightweight, compressible-fill material designed to safeguard foundations from issues such as clay heave, shrinkage, or soil movement. This low-density, moisture-resistant expanded polystyrene void-fill material serves as an effective barrier.

The functionality of 50mm Jablite Claymaster involves enveloping the pile cap with a layer of pink EPS Insulation, alleviating pressure on ground beams as the surrounding clay expands and contracts.

50mm Jablite Claymaster presents a lightweight, easily installable, and highly durable board measuring 2400mm x 1200mm. It serves as a protective measure against clay heave and potential foundation complications arising from moisture-induced movements.

Shrinkable clays, characterized by their high proportion of mineral particles under 0.002mm in diameter, create a cohesive soil type when wet but transform into a crumbly, crazed structure when dry. The expansion and contraction, known as 'clay heave,' during wet and dry periods can pose significant challenges to foundations.

50mm Claymaster EPS insulation is conveniently available in 50mm, 75mm, and 100mm ( 150mm, 200mm and 300mm made to order ) thickness options, catering to the most commonly encountered combinations on-site.
