Hunter Pods provides 100% Australian-made waffle pods, designed for strength, durability, and efficiency. Our engineered waffle pods enhance the construction of a stable slab structure, improving load-bearing strength and minimising the risk of cracking.
Made from expanded polystyrene (EPS) with up to 50% recycled content, these on-ground slabs eliminate trenching, minimise soil disruption, and reduce waste. All offcuts are fully recyclable, supporting sustainability. EPS waffle pods offers thermal insulation, aiding in 7-star energy ratings.
Compliant with AS2870 standards, these waffle pods provide durable support for residential and commercial foundations.
