FOUNDATION PADS
hanit® foundations pads
100% Recycled
hanit® Foundation Pads are made from 100% recycled plastics which that would otherwise go to landfill and can be recycled at end of life just as easily. It also comes with a 20 year warranty.
Will not crack
All the hanit® Foundation Pads have been tested to carry a maximum direct load of over 40 tonnes without a problem, plus wastage is reduced because of the extra impact resistance.
Will not rot
hanit® is non-porous so doesn’t absorb water and is therefore not affected by freeze-thaw cycles throughout its life and does not attract unsightly mould.
Reuse & storage
hanit® Foundation Pads can be re-used many times without the fear of damage in any container environment, concrete can be reused but damage during storage is common.
Easy to carry
Unlike concrete which is heavy to carry, an average 2” thick hanit® pad weighs around 11.5kg (60% lighter than concrete) and this makes it easy to reposition.
Easy to stack
hanit® Foundation Pads have integrated locking holes in opposite corners, so for multiple stacked situations two simple rebar lengths keeps the stack stable and secure.

Concrete resists initially until the first crack appears and then a dramatic failure occurs due to a crumbling.
Weight & height
Crumbles under extreme load & attracts mould
Damage & wastage
Tracked over 100's of projects the damage and wastage across transit and installation was approx. 5%.
