    • Provides thermal barrier between interior and exterior
    • Extends outward from main foundation forms
    • Critical for energy efficiency and frost protection
    • Professional installation quality evident
  • Fiberglass Rebar System:
    • Complete grid pattern across entire foundation area
    • Consistent spacing throughout 24’ x 40’ footprint
    • Non-metallic reinforcement for concrete strength
