What's the difference between a slab on grade and a monolithic foundation?

I've been looking for a manufacturer of frost protected shallow foundation foam forms to get a quote for an addition in Michigan and keep reading about slab on grade and monolithic foundation styrofoam forms - is there a difference or are they the same thing?
A slab on grade字面上的意思是在地面上的混凝土板,而不是像地下室一样的“在地面以下”。And a slab on grade can be built in a variety of ways (monolithicor not), you can learn the basics on this page –
Slab on Grade or Foundation and Basement - Which is Best?
But to answer your question a bit more specifically, first you need to realize that the word ‘monolithic’ simply means is that it can done in one pour. The more traditional method for building a slab on grade is to first pour a footing, wait a few days, then pay those very expensive concrete trucks to come back a second time to pour the slab of your house. and it’s even worse with a basement because it takes 3 trips – once to pour the footing, once for the walls, then later for the slab floor.
您说您正在考虑一种板式基础套件,您想要什么样的产品?有些是用于整体石板的,有些不是。如果它是一个完整的套件与外部边缘绝缘和子板平股票,那么它可能是整体的,如果它只是一个绝缘基础形式,那么你可能会结束在两个浇注。
迈克,谢谢你的快速回复。我们现在看到的产品是Legalet的Geoslab,是在当地的一个家庭,所以我认为肯定是一种一倒的溶液。因为我们计划在北面的墙壁上加装一个大教堂天花板,而且我们的火炉已经达到了极限——我们的想法是,我们可能也会选择电力空气加热,因为我们不想要脚板加热器(气味、美观、噪音、能耗率、舒适度)。我们正在建造的房间将是我们的主要生活区,东西两侧的窗户可以让我们在早上和晚上享受阳光,它将有一个燃木炉作为焦点。现有的厨房将延伸到现有的生活空间,在一侧形成一个大的家庭区域,在附加的一侧有一个大的岛屿进入新房间。然后,我们打算继续改造房子的其他部分,通过与外部绝缘,同时去掉陈旧的乙烯基墙板,更换窗户。现在的房子有一个非常潮湿的带霜墙的爬行空间,所以我们也将把房子和新部分的较低的基础分开,这吸引并将岛的一侧变成一个完整的高度,供工作日用餐。希望你能想象一下?所以,在我所描述的情况下,平地上的楼板和整体基础的含义是一样的吗?
Wrong answer Mike,slab on grade foundation form kit is only one pours !!and is structural slab that the perimeter transfert load from edge to 12' inside (military technic and commercial technic from to many years.)
Hi Benoit, thanks for sharing your thoughts. I'm afraid I don’t fully understand, but if you’re saying what I think you’re saying, I believe we are actually in agreement so let me give it a shot–
Yes, a slab on grade form kit can be done in one pour. If my comment that 'IF' it was an ‘insulated footing form’ then it may take two pours confused you, sorry about that. Ronaldo didn’t indicate which product they were considering, and I have seen form kits that are intended only for footings, in which case an interior slab would need to be poured afterwards, at an additional cost. Without knowing which product this person is considering, I wouldn’t want to mislead them to think all form kits are monolithic. Hope that clears it up for you Benoit, I'm pretty sure we're both fans of monolithic slabs!
