There are many reasons why Central Florida home and business owners are gravitating towards precast concrete for fencing, Hardscapes, and retaining walls. Despite the proven durability and eco-friendliness, there seems to be a few misconceptions going around about precast concrete.
One myth we want to dispel, precast concrete is more expensive than traditional materials.
In fact, the opposite is true. The streamline process and advanced technology means it takes fewer steps to create an amazing product that costs less. Yet, the end product is just as durable, if not more as its traditional counterpart. There is no compromise in quality, the concrete continues to cure and get stronger with time. While needing little to no maintenance.
Another myth, precast concrete cannot endure Central Florida’s extreme weather and elements
The evidence to disprove this myth is, the concrete buildings and walls that are still standing after many decades of storms, hail, hurricane, and even fire, and they still look great! Because precast concrete panels are made in an environmentally controlled warehouse, they have a uniform quality.
A common misconception, precast concrete takes longer to assemble
This couldn’t be further from the truth! In fact, it’s quick and easy installation means huge savings, which is why so many companies and homeowners rely on precast concrete. Once the panels are delivered to the site, it won’t take long, and the fence, wall, and Hardscapes are in place. It doesn’t need large equipment so the property won’t be damaged.
Each precast concrete panel is carefully made to fit together with the next piece. Unlike rock walls, which have to be totally assembled on site, difficult to put together and very time consuming.
Very Little Maintenance means long term savings
Precast retaining walls are secured in place and if they get dirty, they can be easily washed. Unlike rock walls, often times individual rock become loose and fall to the ground, usually due to stress, weather and pressure washing them.
