BEWI achieves NHBC-acceptance for its Jackodur® Atlas Foundation System

Following hot on the heels of the NHBC accepting BEWI’s Thermomur® insulating concrete formwork (ICF) system, the company is excited to announce that NHBC now also accepts BEWI’s Jackodur® Atlas Foundation System.

As a result, BEWI is the only building systems provider offering NHBC solutions for both foundation systems and ICF wall systems.

Gaining NHBC accreditation means that the Jackodur® Atlas extruded polystyrene (XPS) foam foundation system has been rigorously assessed and meets NHBC’s robust standards. This accreditation complements both BBA and Passivhaus approvals, further demonstrating that Jackodur® Atlas is a leading building system known for its high performance.

Jackodur® Atlas is ideal for use alongside Thermomur® ICF and also works very well with timber frame and traditional building methods, helping to meet all project requirements.

“The addition of the NHBC approval provides construction companies with a heightened level of confidence when specifying either BEWI Thermomur® or Jackodur® Atlas,” explains Richard Douglas, Business Development Manager at BEWI, “and is an exciting new point of difference that we can offer to the market.”

Jackodur® Atlas is an intelligent, efficient thermal insulation and formwork system for floor slabs. It is an innovative system incorporating an interlocking design that skilfully eliminates thermal bridges, ensuring superior thermal performance.

It features robust compressive strength properties, providing stability and reliability for building projects. Supplied pre-cut to size, it guarantees rapid and hassle-free installation. This not only enhances efficiency but also contributes to a smoother overall experience, making it a favoured choice for builders and developers.

BEWI also offers comprehensive support for clients, developers, contractors and designers. This includes pre-design technical expertise, based on many years experience in this market, through to on-site practical support. Along with its superb product line-up, this amounts to an unbeatable package for the housebuilding market.
