Firth’s RibRaft foundation solution is the original and leading foundation solution in New Zealand. Firth launched RibRaft EQ as a solution for the changing requirements for foundations to meet new post-earthquake requirements, and is now extending the RibRaft range to include solutions for new TC3 ground conditions.
The Firth RibRaft® system is one of NZ's most popular solutions for residential and light commercial flooring. This innovative method of concrete floor construction is quick and efficient to lay - and it offers excellent insulation benefits.
