FNPC Precast Concrete Panels utilize the basic virtues of concrete:
beauty, strength, durability, low maintenance, energy efficiency,
environmental friendliness and peace and quiet. Providing residential
homes that are built to last.
Cost Savings – Precast concrete panel home construction offers
significant cost savings. Without volatile wood prices, material
expenses are reduced. Labor costs are much lower. Project completion
times are faster. Typically, construction time can be reduced up to
40%. Foundations and perimeter walls can be erected in hours. The
panels can be erected in any weather, so interior work will not be
delayed.
Safe and Sound – Homes constructed with concrete walls are safer,
offering enhanced protection from disasters including; hurricanes,
tornadoes and fires. Concrete is a strong, durable material that stands
up to the fury of nature. Concrete panel construction also provides
protection from the more subtle threats of rot, rust and termites.
Today's strongest residential wall systems are made of concrete.
The Quiet Comfort Of Home - Besides being stronger and more durable,
the mass of a concrete wall provides an added benefit - a reduction in
noise entering the home. Sound proof concrete homes provide increased
peace and quiet, a significant factor with today’s smaller lots homes
located closer to streets and to each other.
Environmentally Sound – With logging's high environmental price tag and
a growing shortage of high quality lumber, concrete offers a cost
effective, quality alternative to wood-frame home construction.
Energy Efficient – Concrete’s strength and mass keep homes dry and
comfortable year round, giving homeowners energy saving benefits and
lower utility bills. In some areas energy tax credits and special
mortgages are available for concrete home construction. The mass of
concrete slows down the passage of heat moving through the wall. In
addition, concrete forms an integral wall - solid, continuous and
airtight. By comparison, a wood-frame wall is a collection of
components - studs, sheet rock, sheathing and insulation. Each joint
and connection is a potential air leak. As the air passes through these
leaks, it takes heating and air conditioning with it. Air leakage
accounts for a large percentage of energy loss in the home.
Design Flexibility – FNPC concrete panels can be easily cut and nailed
into. They are ready for exterior and interior finishing. Also a
variety of colors and design finishes are available. These factors
provide the variety and design flexibilities to build what ever the
customer wants.
