Mono Slab®️ EZ Form is a system used to form frost protected slab foundations in Oregon and in colder climates. These foundations, also known as frost-protected shallow foundations (FPSF), are useful for people who want to save money and time on their slab foundations because they don’t require additional insulation. Here are some things you need to know about using Mono Slab®️ EZ Form to build foundations in cold climates.
If your structure has a FPSF it will benefit from the advantages of both slab foundations and insulated foundations. All types of slab foundations provide similar benefits, including strength and durability, cost-effectiveness, and shortened labor and drying time. Mono Slab®️ EZ Form delivers all of that and more.
Many people in Oregon are interested in more eco-friendly methods of building construction and repairs. While foundations utilize concrete, a material that isn’t traditionally green, the Mono Slab®️ system reduces the environmental impact of your foundation. Mono Slab®️ foundations come with several environmental benefits, including:
The shallower your foundation, the less you will disturb the ground on which you’re building. This helps preserve the local environment and the soil. It also helps make your home more energy efficient. This is because shallow slab foundations allow for less air and energy transfer between the ground and the building than foundations such as basements and crawlspaces. Being able to reduce any amount of project time and material usage enables you to save related costs, energy and resources.
One of the key benefits of the Mono Slab®️ EZ Form system is that it creates a superior insulated foundation. Typical slab foundations are not insulated, which means they are not particularly well-suited for cold environments. It also means that the time, resources, energy and costs required to install them are much higher compared to frost-protected foundations.
The unique design of Mono Slab®️ EZ Form provides an R-Value that exceeds code requirements which eliminates the need for additional insulation. It’s less likely that you will need to worry about cracks and other types of damage due to freezing ground conditions, which means that repairs and maintenance will be less common and less costly.
Different climates and regions can limit what type of foundation you can use. Slab foundations are typically used in warmer locations and places where insects and pests may damage a crawl space. Mono Slab®️ EZ Form, however, is ideal for climates with deep frosts, permafrost, and seasonal ground freezes. Slab foundations built by traditional methods might crack or weaken due to the cycle of freezing and thawing, whereas Mono Slab®️ EZ Form protects from the cold.
No matter what type of building, there is a Mono Slab®️ EZ Form to match. Our selection of forms are all code compliant and include commercial, interior, and our new adjustable form with leveling brackets. To complete your foundation, we have developed flashing that works seamlessly with all Mono Slab®️ forms.
Multi-unit residential or commercial projects will see a significant decrease in the time between excavation and framing. With Mono Slab®️ EZ Form you can be ready to frame in three days. After prepping all the sites, installation is quick and easy. The lightweight forms make it possible to have multiple sites ready to pour in one day.
