If you are a concrete slab construction company or just need polystyrene decking blocks for one of your projects we can certainly assist you in South Africa or for export.

This is our retail portal. Contractors & Bulk Buyers should request access to our discounted Contractor & Bulk Buyer Portal.

Product Supply:

---

• Please note that we only supply the POLYSLAB Blocks.
• We don't design concrete slabs.
• We don't install concrete slabs.

POLYSLAB - Rib & Block Void Former Or Decking Blocks

---

• POLYSLAB Blocks are expanded polystyrene decking blocks or void formers used in rib & block slab construction.
• POLYSLAB Blocks are used instead of traditional ash blocks and they are placed between the concrete lintels to create a base on which the final concrete slab can be cast.

Benefits of using PolySlab Blocks instead of Ash Blocks

---

• POLYSLAB Blocks are lightweight and easy to lift in multi-story building projects.
• They significantly reduce they final weight of the concrete slab.
• They increase the rate at which concrete slabs can be prepared and constructed.
• Lightweight slabs reduce the amount of jacking supports required and the time that such supports need to remain in place.
• This means that work can resume faster during the curing period of the concrete slab.
• They increase the thermal and acoustic properties of the concrete slab.

Most Requested Block Sizes & Dimensions:

---

• Below you will see our standard blocks dimensions.
• To avoid wastage and costs the blocks are all 1200mm long.
• We can custom-cut blocks if necessary.

Most Requested POLYSLAB Block Thicknesses:

---

• Once again, we don't specify block thickness. Your engineer will have to specify the block thickness and density requirements based on their actual engineering design.
• The most common block thicknesses based on the concrete slab thickness can be seen below.

Final Concrete Slab Thickness	PolySlab Block Thickness
170mm	110mm
200mm	150mm
255mm	190mm
300mm	230mm
340mm	285mm

POLYSLAB Design Properties:

---

• Your engineer can use these properties to finalise your concrete slab design.

Density	Compressive Strength	Cross-Breaking Strength
X-Grade	60 kPa @ 10% compression	80 kPa @ 1% compression
20DV	110 kPa @ 10% compression	150 kPa @ 1% compression
