Energy Friendly

USGBC LogoResearch indicates that an uninsulated basement can account for over 33% of the total heat loss in your home. That’s why our foundations feature a continuous layer of insulation bonded directly to the concrete, resulting in high energy efficiency to help reduce energy costs. We feature R-5 insulation in our R-5 wall system with stud facings ready for drywall finishing.

Reduces Energy Leakage

Building with Superior Walls insulated precast concrete wall panels provides your home with an excellent thermal envelope, minimizing the potential for energy leakage. The combination of pre-engineered built-in insulation and high strength concrete is a great foundation for energy conservation.

Lowers Energy Utilities

Built-in insulation helps lower energy loss through the basement walls. The R-5 insulation throughout the wall panels minimizes thermal transfer. The pre-studded wall panels include extra cavity space that makes it easy to add additional insulation to maximize R-value up to R-50+.

Saves Valuable Natural Resources

Since the foundation wall panels are engineered and manufactured with concrete studs, Superior Walls reduces the amount of materials used to build your new home, including wood and concrete, and reduces the carbon footprint of your new home’s construction process!

Improves Indoor Air Quality

Superior Walls 5000+ psi concrete, engineered with a lower water-to-cement ratio, ensures durability and helps prevent the transfer of moisture through the wall. A dry basement will limit the possibility of mold and other airborne fungus that can be found in traditional basements and affect air quality.

Eliminates On-site Soil Contamination

Your Superior Walls panels will be built in our indoor production facility, eliminating any on-site soil contamination from such as the form oil used for poured walls. And because dampproofing is built into our walls (ICC-ESR 1553), no on-site sprays or bituminous coatings are required to make the walls dampproof.

Reduces Jobsite Waste

Our efficient, factory controlled production process ensures that your Superior Walls foundation arrives at your home site ready to install, producing  virtually no on-site waste, with the least environmental site impact of any foundation system!
