Concrete Pad Alternative
The Ultra Base Foundation Panel is used primarily as an alternative to an asphalt or concrete base for a wide variety of applications. This structurally sound panel possesses excellent drainage capabilities and is safer, more durable and more environmentally friendly than concrete and asphalt. It features an interlocking design that not only creates an ultra-flat surface ideal for maximum performance, but also allows for thermal expansion and contraction so the surface does not buckle in extreme weather conditions.
