Slabmate Underslab Insulation & Slab Edge Insulation

Improve energy efficiency of your concrete slab with Slabmate insulation, the trusted Australian-made underslab insulation solution designed to create an effective thermal barrier beneath and around concrete slabs. When Slabmate is used under a concrete slab, it greatly improves the thermal performance of the slab and prohibits thermal leakage. 

By reducing heat transfer through the foundation, Slabmate significantly enhances your building's overall energy efficiency, comfort, and performance. This cost-effective, environmentally friendly solution is engineered for straightforward installation and long-term reliability, making it the smart choice for both residential and commercial construction.

Note: Barwon Timber supplies Slabmate Standard and Slabmate Pro in 40mm, 50mm and Slabmate Pro in 60mm thickness for pickup only. All other thicknesses over 50mm are special orders. If you require SM-100, a dual-layer installation using two layers of the SM-50 product can be used to achieve a similar result. The same approach can also be applied with Slabmate Pro. 

Key Features & Benefits

  • Proven Thermal Performance: Creates a continuous insulation layer that reduces heat loss and gain through the slab, helping maintain comfortable indoor temperatures year-round

  • Australian-Made & Environmentally Conscious: Supports local manufacturing and is made with sustainability in mind, without compromising on quality or performance

  • Lightweight & Easy to Install: Simplifies on-site handling and placement, reducing labor time and ensuring a seamless fit around slab edges and beneath the concrete pour

  • Maintains R-Value for Life: Unlike some insulation materials that degrade, Slabmate Standard is designed to retain its thermal resistance for the life of the building. Learn more about R-Value

  • Cost-Effective Energy Efficiency: Delivers significant long-term savings on heating and cooling costs by improving the building's overall thermal envelope

  • Versatile Application: Suitable for both underslab and slab-edge installation, providing a complete solution for slab-on-ground construction
