TUFF+ BASE<\/h2>\n

What is a TUFF+ BASE, and how are they different to traditional foundations!<\/h2>\n

TUFF+ houses and other buildings can be constructed on to traditional prestressed concrete piles or concrete slabs.<\/p>\n

However columns, posts, piles and slabs all require lots of time and labour to prepare, reinforce and level.<\/p>\n

A TUFF+ BASE is a faster, efficient way to attach a house into the substrate soil to prevent lateral wind pressure from pushing the house off the slab.<\/p>\n

A TUFF+ BASE can be used only in association with a SIP wall, which is the structural base for strength.<\/p>\n

TUFF+ BASE is an FRP Profile that is laid onto levelled and compacted soil or other ground based material like gravel, as specified by the designing engineer.<\/p>\n

Once laid, the SIP wall panels are laid onto the already levelled rim of the TUFF+ BASE, and attached to it.<\/p>\n

The TUFF+ BASE now becomes an integrated part of the SIP wall, as the whole wall is now a main beam.<\/p>\n

SIP walls<\/a> are prefabricated for building onto a solid base, not for placing on soil.\u00a0 This is because SIPs are typically unsealed at the bottom, and attached to a SILL PLATE, which binds the SIP to the slab or subfloor.<\/p>\n
