WHY FASTFOOT® IS
GREEN:
-
Fastfoot® conserves natural resources:
A single 12.5 pound roll of Fastfoot® will form
the same footing as 900 pounds of lumber,
representing a dramatic increase in efficiency.
Footing lumber is discarded
after several reuses because of alkaline damage.
Fastfoot® protects
all lumber and stakes from concrete.

 |
|
Fastfoot®
prevents stormwater pollution. |
-
Fastfoot® Prevents Ground Water Pollution:
Fastfoot® is a damp proof membrane and prevents
concrete toxins from contaminating sensitive ground water.
With lumber, the concrete is in direct contact
with the ground, and enters the
groundwater, contaminating spawning and wildlife
habitat.
|
-
Fastfoot® Provides a Drier, Healthier Indoor
Environment:
 |
|
Fastfoot®
prevents rising damp and mold. |
The Fastfoot® membrane prevents
moisture from wicking up through the concrete footing
into the home. This prevents mold and fungi that
grow in damp environments and can cause
severe respiratory infections and allergic
reactions.
