225mm Cordek Cellcore HX S Under Slab Anti Heave Board (9/13) is used beneath reinforced concrete floor slabs to protect against the potential effects of ground heave.
The HX S Grade 9/13 is calculated and calibrated for concrete thickness up to 300mm (has been tested to achieve the specified performance characteristics).
225mm Cellcore HXS is a highly-durable, BBA certified product which meets the NHBC’s Technical Standards.
The standard range of products are available in a variety of depths and grades to suit most commonly encountered combinations of soil heave potential and concrete depth.
Variations of the product are also available for use under pile caps and ground beams or alternatively where integral insulation, permanent formwork or passive gas venting is required.
One of great things about HX S Under Slab is its very simple to work with and doesn't have much dust off when cut on site.
Grade 9/13 means that safe load is 9 kN/m2 and fail load is 13 kN/m2 (kilonewtons per m2).
Safe load is a maximum safe force that a Cellcore HX S material offers without fear of breaking.
Fail load is not safe force and will cause permanent deformation of the insulation panel.
Shrinkage category of 225mm HX S is classified as high.
225mm HX S Under Slab Plasticity index is 40-60.
The cost of manufacturing cellcore hxs 225mm under slab is considered linearly proportional to its grade which is based on maximum concrete depth.
Cellcore HX S Under Slab Grade 7/10 price is the lowest compared to the higher grades: 9/13, 13/18, 18/24, 24/32 (price list is available upon request).
Installation:
The procedure for installing Cellcore panels is straightforward.
Please ensure that Cellcore panels are placed upon a suitable firm and level surface.
Typically a layer of concrete blinding beneath the panels is recommended.
The lightweight but durable panels can be easily laid by one person.
Where they are required to be cut this can be carried out using a fine tooth saw or hot wire cutter.
Storage and Handling:
All products are delivered in a polythene wrapping and are clearly labelled.
Both packs of Cellcore and individual panels can be manually handled and offloaded upon delivery, taking in to account any site specific manual handling regulations.
No further storage requirements are needed as the product is unaffected by both UV light and water.
Key points:
· Reduces the upward force transmitted to the structure from ground heave
· Wide range of profiles and grades to suit most applications
· Meets the NHBC’s Technical Standards
· Moulded production for enhanced and consistent performance
· Patented Product Technology
· BBA certified

What is 225mm Cellcore HX S Slab?
225mm Cellcore HX S Under Slab is a lightweight expanded polystyrene (EPS) block designed for use beneath reinforced concrete floor slabs to protect against the potential effects of ground heave.
How to understand the differences between grades?
Grades are specially calculated and calibrated for deformation of EPS under loading.
7/10 grade | 7 means 7 kN/m2 (safe load) | 10 means 10 kN/m2 (failure load)
9/13 grade | 9 means 9 kN/m2 (safe load) | 13 means 13 kN/m2 (failure load)
13/18 grade | 13 means 13 kN/m2 (safe load) | 18 means 18 kN/m2 (failure load)
18/24 grade | 18means 18 kN/m2 (safe load) | 24 means 24 kN/m2 (failure load)
24/32 grade | 24 means 24 kN/m2 (safe load) | 32 means 32 kN/m2 (failure load)
What HX S under slab safe load means?
HX S Safe Load simply means safe force that a HX S material offers without fear of breaking - Normal Working Load (NWL)
7 means 7 kN/m2 (safe load) – kilonewtons per m2
9 means 9 kN/m2 (safe load) – kilonewtons per m2
13 means 13 kN/m2 (safe load) – kilonewtons per m2
18 means 18 kN/m2 (safe load) – kilonewtons per m2
24 means 24 kN/m2 (safe load) – kilonewtons per m2
What HX S under slab failure load means?
It means the load at which the under slab will fail (permanent deformation).
10 means 10 kN/m2 (failure load) – kilonewtons per m2
13 means 13 kN/m2 (failure load) – kilonewtons per m2
18 means 18 kN/m2 (failure load) – kilonewtons per m2
24 means 24 kN/m2 (failure load) – kilonewtons per m2
32 means 32 kN/m2 (failure load) – kilonewtons per m2
Is it complicated is to work with 225mm HX S Under Slab?
NO, is not. One of great things about 225mm HX S Under Slab is its very simple to work with and doesn't have much dust off when cut on site.
What is the 225mm HX S Under Slab shrinkage category?
Shrinkage category of 225mm HX S is classified as HIGH
What is 225mm HX S Under Slab plasticity index?
225mm HX S Under Slab Plasticity index is 40-60.
What is the standard size of 225mm HX S Under Slab?
HX S Under Slab dimensions are:
2,400mm x 1,200mm (8’x4’)
What is the maximum depth of concrete dedicated for 225mm HX S Under Slab?
Grades are specially calculated to withstand the load of concrete as per below:
7/10 - from 0mm up to 220mm concrete thickness
9/13 - from 220mm up to 300mm concrete thickness
13/18 - from 300mm up to 460mm concrete thickness
18/24 - from 460mm up to 660mm concrete thickness
Why knowing Cellcore grades is so important?
Each grade has adequate strength to support a specified depth of wet concrete during construction and will collapse under its specified fail-load, limiting the upward presssures experienced periods od clay heave.
How to install 225mm HX S Under Slab?
The procedure for installing Cellcore panels is straightforward. Cellcore panels should be placed upon a suitable firm and level surface.
Typically a layer of concrete blinding beneath the panels is recommended.
Panels can be easily laid by one person.
How do cut 225mm HX S Under Slab?
Cut can be carried out using a fine tooth saw or hot wire cutter.
How can I joint Cellcore HX S Under Slab boards?
Individual panels should be butted together, with taping of the joints using the formwork tape to avoid any grout loss between the panels.
Formwork sealing tape, typically 50mm wide is used to seal the joints between adjacent panels. Tape should be used to tape the joints to stop the ingress of concrete slurry weeping down between the panels and cousing a dead spot.
Is Cellcore 225mm HX S Under Slab BBA Certified?
Yes, 225mm HX S Under Slab has BBA Certificate.
Do I need Damp Proof Membrane for Cellcore HX S?
Damp proof membrane should be used on top of the slap and underneath the screed.

They are labeled to easily find on site which grade goes in which area.
7/10 grade is colored RED
9/13 grade is colored BROWN
13/18 grade is colored YELLOW
18/24 grade is colored BLACK
24/32 grade is colored BLUE

INSTALLERS
No matter whether you choose a local installer or a national company, there’s a few tips to help you find the right installer for your home insulation improvements, such as asking for recommendations and making sure that they’re part of a certification scheme. This makes sure that they have the right skills and standards of workmanship to carry out the installation, and you can be sure that they know exactly what they are doing.
4 TIPS FOR CHOOSING THE BEST INSULATION INSTALLER
1. Thermal inspection picture in portfolio
It’s worth seeing a installer’s previous work. There’s no harm asking if you can see any properties nearby that they’ve installed insulation in. Best way would be to see Infrared Thermal Imaging Inspections. Thermal cameras spot small, but key changes in temperature in different areas of a house, identifying problematic areas that the human eye never could and some that a visual inspection could only hypothesize.
2. Reviews
Along with checking recommendations and previous work, finding reviews online can often be a great way to find out if they provide a good service or not. However, it’s best not to solely rely on reviews you may find or review websites, as there’s no controlling who writes them.
3. Compare prices
Comparing prices will also ensure companies can’t take advantage of you and give you a fair price.
4. Word of Mouth
The best way to find a great insulation installer is through recommendations. Make sure you ask friends and family. They will most likely give you their honest opinion and can tell you from first hand experience.
Whether you require a wall, cladding, external wall, loft or floor insulation fitted, you can find and hire your local insulation installers from popular UK web pages. A simple internet search will return thousands of potential installers near your area.
