Many Central Florida homeowners are thinking outside the box when it comes to traditional fencing, hardscapes, and retaining wall. Technological advanced has made today’s precast concrete more durable, stronger, and energy-efficient.
“It’s hard to beat concrete’s thermal performance, storm resistance and sustainability qualities,” says James Baty, executive director of the Concrete Foundation Association. “A concrete home built with the proper supports can easily last 200 years and, as in ‘The Three Pigs’ fairy tale, can withstand nature’s ‘huffs and puffs’ better than the house made of sticks.”
The fact that concrete is low maintenance and the panels won’t rot or warp over time, make them and an outstanding investment.
“A specially formulated concrete that can withstand up to 5,000 pounds per square inch after a full 28-day curing process, precast concrete wall panels need not remain a utilitarian gray color. Texture can also be achieved in precast concrete walls shortly after being poured into forms through stamping — a process by which patterns are pressed into wet concrete. Colorants can be spread over the top of stamped, wet concrete so the outside of panels can emulate stones or bricks.” according to an article in the The Kansas City Star.
