When used in conjunction with ICF, the Kore foundation system provides an insulated foundation system which connects perfectly with the ICF walls creating a perfectly insulated building envelope.
The KORE Insulated Foundation System fully insulates the foundation of the home and delivers some of the lowest U-values available on the market. This system practically eliminates wall-to-floor cold bridge, a junction where heat can escape. Essentially, the Kore Insulated Foundation System provides complete insulation to the entire foundation using Expanded Polystyrene to insulate the home from the ground up.
This system ensures there is no thermal break between the wall and foundation junctions, eliminating potential heat loss. When combined with modern methods of construction, such as ICF, the Kore System ensures an airtight, super-insulated home designed to exceed building regulations and achieve the highest Building Energy Ratings – including Passive House Certification and NZEB.
KORE’s Insulated Foundation System is fully NSAI Certified under certificate number 20/0424.
