Flotation

Floating Docks

Extremely Buoyant
Styrofoam brand bouyancy billets are one of the best materials to use for floating structures such as these. This extremely bouyant, yet durable material is composed of millions of tiny non-interconnecting air cells, each serving as an independant bouyancy chamber. It takes only one cubic foot of Styrofoam brand bouyancy billets to float 55 pounds.

Rugged
Styrofoam brand bouyancy billets won't lose their bouyancy, even if punctured. The light weight of Styrofoam brand bouyancy billets reduces the racking of the wooden framework of a floating structure, and helps minimize damage from storms. Rocking, usually experienced in drum-floated structures, is greatly reduced by using Styrofoam brand bouyancy billets - and there are no hollow drumming noises to listen to at night.
