To prevent frost heaving of uninsulated shallow foundations, building codes in many regions specify that foundations extend below the frost line, requiring additional excavation and concrete. Avoid this extra step - and meet code - by insulating the shallow foundation with extruded polystyrene insulation from Dow. And save time and money while you're at it.
STYROFOAM™ Brand Insulation is an ideal choice for below-grade applications due to its:
-
Excellent moisture resistance
-
Freeze-thaw stability
-
Compressive strength
Choosing the right insulation for your agricultural building depends on what its primary use will be.
