Flooring Insulation Supplier Solutions - QuickSet

QuickSet’s patented system is a revolution in foundation design that provides an insulated, internally braced, permanent formwork system for raft foundations, which can exist either as a fully insulated system or as edge insulation alone.

By incorporating the insulation panel within permanent formwork that remains in place after the concrete has been poured, QuickSet has simplified and improved the build process for foundations, as there’s no stripping of formwork or removal of external bracing required.

The formwork is composed of a PVC foam sheet, laminated with extruded polystyrene (XPS) to add further insulation. This tough, dense material has high impact strength, absorbs less than 1% moisture and is self-extinguishing, making it the perfect material for the outside of a foundation.

Suitable for framing that is 90mm, 140mm, or more, the QuickSet system is highly adaptable and compatible with all pod systems and meets all requirements under H1 regulations. This tried-and-tested system is ready for the building industry to use and is code marked and BRANZ-appraised with Superslab+ by Allied Concrete.

QuickSet solution for traditional formwork – concrete slab-edge insulation

In 2024, QuickSet launched QuickEdge edge insulation for concrete foundations, tailored for those who prefer tried-and-tested traditional boxing methods but seek the advancements of modern solutions.

QuickEdge is a cost-effective edge insulation solution for foundations and is designed to be used in conjunction with traditional formwork. While the concrete slab edge insulation was already available as part of its patented Quickset system, this option provides the benefits of edge insulation to those using traditional concrete slab methods.

QuickEdge is proudly CodeMark-certified and BRANZ-appraised in conjunction with Allied Superslab+.

QuickEdge has three options to suit varying traditional slab methods, and all deliver superior thermal performance:

• QuickEdge Taper, designed for 90mm framing, has an R-value close to R1.0.
• QuickEdge Ultra, designed for 140mm and above framing, has an R-value of that exceeds R1.0.
• QuickEdge Brick, designed for brick homes, has an R-value close to R1.0.

Designed to deliver exceptional performance at an affordable pricepoint, QuickEdge is pre-finished with UV stabilisers built into it and does not require plastering, priming or painting – saving time and labour costs.

With durability in mind, QuickEdge is built to survive the rigours of construction and the bustling activity of home life. Thanks to a dense outer layer protecting the softer insulation material on the inside, there should be no accidental damage from weed eaters, lawn mowers or cricket balls!
