Clinkafill and insulating the slab


Our builders from Caedman Construction have been working hard to prepare our slab, ready for the pour next week. We have decided to have no under slab heating, rather have the slab super insulated using both Clinka and Eccovoid. Nick (Caedman Construction) thinks the slab should perform extremely well, however he thinks Grant spends too much time on the internet?!


This is what the Clinkafill looks like close up.
13 pallets of Clinkafill delivered to us from Sweden. Unfortunately
there  is no similar product to this made in Australia.
Thankfully we have space in our back yard to store stuff
The Eccovoid was sourced locally. It will eventually rot away and
create an insulating air space



This lovely looking bit of reo is ready for the concrete pour.
This will also be the home of our 'brewery'! I don't think it gets any better

  1. I'm planning to use Clinkafill under my Melbourne house renovation too, so it's interesting to see your construction photos. Thanks for sharing.
