LEGALETT GEO-Slab

A LEGALETT GEO-Slab is a pre-engineered frost protected shallow foundation concrete slab designed for use in residential, commercial, and institutional construction.

Frost Protected Shallow Foundations (FPSF's)

FPSF's are alternatives to deeper and more costly conventional foundations that may require piles and are used in regions that experience seasonal ground freezing and the potential for frost heave. FPSF design allows footings to be founded above the traditional design frost depth, by insulating the foundation and ground in a manner that prevents the ground freezing below the foundation.

LEGALETT GEO-Slab

LEGALETT takes the unique approach of a FPSF to a higher level with the GEO-Slab. by incorporating a heating system specifically designed to be part of the GEO-Slab. The heating is an air-heated radiant system where pipes are cast into the concrete slab through which warm air is circulated through a heating unit. With the aid of a fan, the warm air travels through the pipes heating up the whole floor/foundation. With this combination of foundation and heating system, LEGALETT shifts the bulk of the concrete away from the edge and spreads it evenly through the slab, maximizing the thermal mass of the slab for heating, and spreading out the load applied to the soil. This simplifies the installation of the LEGALETT GEO-Slab, compared to other FPSF's, in two ways - the GEO-Slab is the same thickness from one side of the building to the other, reducing installation time by eliminating thickened edges and multiple concrete pours, and secondly, by reducing or eliminating the need for skirting.
