Your Foundations

for Energy-Efficient Living

At Passive Slabs, we believe that energy efficiency starts from the ground up. Our advanced insulated foundation systems are engineered specifically for low-energy or Passivhaus homes and other sustainable developments across the UK.

Built on decades of collective experience in eco-conscious construction...

Passive Slab delivers a complete foundation solution that combines cutting-edge insulation, structural strength, and simplified installation — helping homeowners, architects, and developers build better from the very beginning of their project. 

At Passive Slab, we offer flexible options to suit your project. Whether you’re looking for a straightforward supply-only package, on-site assistance at key stages or prefer a fully installed foundation system managed by our experienced team — we’ve got you covered. Choose the level of support that works best for your project.

What Is a Passive Slab?

A Passive Slab is a high-performance, fully insulated foundation system designed to meet the strict energy standards of Passivhaus and low-energy builds. Using high-quality, high density interlocking insulation panels from Izodom along with an in-situ reinforced concrete slab, Passive Slab foundation forms an efficient base beneath the structure — dramatically reducing heat loss whilst eliminating thermal bridges at the critical slab to wall and slab to ground interfaces.

Whilst traditional foundations rely on trench excavation, concrete and sub-structure under-build prior to the ground floor slab being placed. Passive Slab provide a simpler, cleaner and faster approach to having the site ready for your super structure build to commence.

Why Choose Passive Slab?

Outstanding Thermal Performance

Our foundation achieves U-values from 0.09W/m2K to 0.14W/m2K (p/a ratio dependant) — significantly outperforming traditional foundation and building systems. 

No Thermal Bridging

Our system completely isolates the building from the ground and removes any possibility of a thermal bridge at the critical slab to wall junction. 

Rapid, Efficient Installation

The Passive Slab system is designed for speed and simplicity. With pre-cut insulation connecting with tongue & groove and dovetail joints along with a step-by-step construction method, build time is reduced significantly. Less waste. Less hassle. Fewer delays.

Designed for All

Whether you’re a self-builder, architect, contractor or developer Passive Slab provides the foundation performance you need.

Structural Integrity Built In

We use Izodom as the insulating formwork, filled with reinforced concrete. The result is a strong, durable foundation with exceptional load-bearing capacity. We are the exclusive UK partner for Izodom 2000 ICF construction products.
