Why Poured Concrete?
There are several reasons why poured concrete walls are the better choice for your foundation. Not only do they make for faster construction time and better re-sale of the home, but they also extend the construction season, as they can adapt to cold weather construction, which offers builders more time.
A few more reasons why poured concrete walls are better:
- Water tightness means a dry basement.
- More fire resistance, because of the density and joint free construction.
- Resistance to rot and decay, proven by the long years of service life that concrete walls have provided.
- Affordability. Poured concrete walls are cost competitive with block walls.
- Performance. Testing the compressive strengths of concrete assures the builder and
homeowner of specified strengths in the concrete. - Faster construction time....and the list goes on.
