WHY USE ARCHITECTURAL PRECAST?

Versatile

• Precast concrete allows for very flexible design, limited only by the imagination.
• Precast concrete allows for a wide variety of textures and colors.
• Precast is timely, in that panels and trim pieces can be manufactured before a project’s site work even starts - “just in time” delivery.
• Precast is produced by skilled crafts people in a controlled environment to exacting standards.

Resilient

• Concrete is time tested.         
• Concrete increases in strength over time.
• Concrete is non-combustible.
• Concrete is rot and insect resistant. 
• Concrete reduces the risk associated with fires, floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, wind-driven rain and debris.  

Sustainable

• Concrete is made of natural materials  -  water, stones, sand, gravel, and cement.
• Concrete can be almost entirely recycled.
• Precast Concrete is shipped to the project ready to install reducing waste and transportation impacts.
• Concrete acts as an air barrier, reducing air infiltration and saving more energy.
• Concrete emits little or no VOCs; does not degrade indoor air quality.
• Concrete has very low carbon footprint and low embodied energy.

Affordable

• Concrete is comparatively, an inexpensive building material.
• Concrete has minimal maintenance and repair costs.
• Concrete buildings may have reduced fire insurance rates.
• Concrete's durability leads to a low life cycle cost.

Quality Controlled

• Architectural precast is manufactured in a controlled environment ensuring consistency and quality.
• Constant testing, inspection and certification of the products made and the people who make it, also enhances the quality of precast made in certified plants.
