BASEMENT CONCRETE POURED WALLS

Poured concrete basements are probably the most common type of construction. People prefer this option because it’s sturdy and simple. As the name suggests, poured concrete basement construction begins with the pouring of a footing for the foundation.

Forms are used to hold the wall in place as they dry. This results in strong basement walls that don’t typically cause any problems.

CONCRETE RETAINING WALLS

If you want to build a concrete retaining wall, you should consider pouring the wall rather than making it out of concrete blocks. A poured wall is much stronger and generally last many more years than a block wall.

INTERLOCKING BLOCK RETAINING WALLS

As beautiful as they are functional, freestanding and retaining wall systems take your style to new levels of interest and refinement.

The interlocking Pro^® retaining wall system is an ideal choice for large-scale projects. With a rough-hewn face style, it gives landscapes substance and stability.

CONCRETE SLABS

Monolithic slabs are foundation systems constructed as one single concrete pour that consists of a concrete slabwith thickened portions of the slab under load bearing walls and all perimeter edges that take the place of footers.

CONCRETE DRIVEWAY, SIDEWALKS, PATIO, DECORATIVE CONCRETE

A driveway is a piece of hard groundprivate way or road for cars, that leads from the road to the front of a house, garage, or other building.

It’s made to last. Environmental conditions have a great influence.

Why concrete poured basement walls are better than block walls.....
- Strength
Solid concrete has an ultimate flexural strength that is greater than block, making it better able to resist cave-ins caused by lateral pressures of wind, earth, and water. Its ultimate compressive strength is also greater, making it better able to support vertical building loads. In addition, poured concrete walls get stronger as they age - for up to five years.
- Maintenance Ease
Poured concrete basements need virtually no maintenance. Concrete's composition is resistant to rot, decay, rodents, termites, and fungi. Poured concrete is also nontoxic, containing no preservatives to become free upon contact or by leaching. Solid concrete basement walls take care of themselves.
- Fire Resistant
Because of it's increased density and joint-free construction, poured walls offer twice the fire resistance of hollow core block.
- Affordability
Controlling costs is one of the biggest concerns of homebuilders and buyers alike. Efficient modern construction methods make poured basement walls cost competitive with block walls. When you can get this much performance at a comparable price, why look any farther?
- Water Resistance
Solid concrete walls are essentially impervious to the passage of water. Solid concrete has fewer and smaller voids than block and is less porous. It offers almost twice the density of a hollow core block wall and weighs approximately 50 pounds more per cubic feet. This makes concrete basements drier.
- Design Flexibility
Poured wall construction is adaptable to all home styles, including ranches, duplexes, split levels, modular home, condominiums and apartments. Poured concrete fits in perfectly with today's diverse lifestyles.
- Time Savings
Using poured wall construction gives the builder a head start on framing. A typical installation involves a three-day cycle. When compared to block construction this saves the builder time, increases productivity, and results in a superior basement.
