Future Found - Insulated Raft Foundation System

Future Found is a UK-manufactured, high performance insulated raft foundation system, trusted by leading developers and housebuilders for both residential and commercial projects. Designed for superior energy efficiency, it sets a new standard in modern foundation technology.

The Foundation of an Energy Efficient Home

Crafted from a high-density EPS formwork, each system is engineered to meet exact project specifications and achieve optimal U-values for thermal performance.

Suitable for use across a variety of building types and ground conditions, Future Found offers a reliable and efficient foundation solution for a wide variety of building applications, ensuring both ease of installation and peace of mind for developers and contractors alike.

Why choose Future Found Insulated Foundation?

Our insulated foundation system offers versatility and can be adapted to suit a wide range of ground conditions and building types, including brick & block, stone, timber frame, SIPs (Structural Insulated Panels), and ICF (Insulated Concrete Forms). Whether you’re working on a traditional build or a modern, energy efficient project, Future Found provides a reliable, high performance solution.

Eliminate Cold Bridging

Future Found effectively eliminates cold bridging between wall and floor, ensuring superior thermal insulation. By achieving ultra low U-values, it significantly enhances the overall energy performance, contributing to reduced heating and cooling costs.

Reduce Build Time

Beyond its energy saving capabilities, Future Found streamlines the construction process, reducing both material costs and labour expenses. Its easy to install, pre-engineered formwork cuts down build time. Reaching finished floor level in a single concrete pour!

Our foundation system significantly reduces concrete usage, requiring 30-40% less concrete compared to traditional foundations, which lowers material costs and environmental impact. Additionally, it reduces labour and machinery requirements by up to 50%, thanks to the minimal ground preparation required, further streamlining the construction process and driving cost savings.

Maximize Efficiency

Through advanced thermal analysis, we’ve demonstrated Psi values as low as 0.06 W/mK and U-values as low as 0.08 W/m²K, making our system one of the most energy efficient foundation solutions available. These results translate into a reduced carbon footprint, lower heating costs, and improved thermal performance, all while contributing to sustainability goals.

Whether you’re building a residential, commercial, or sustainably minded project, our insulated raft foundation is the ideal choice for achieving a warmer, more energy efficient future.
