Benefits of poured concrete walls vs. block foundation
A stronger, safer home
  • Poured walls are solid concrete - about 40% more concrete
    than hollow block walls.
  • The higher density and joint-free construction of poured walls
    means twice the fire resistance of block walls.
  • Compression strength tests reveal that poured walls also
    stand the test of time compared to block foundations.

LAYOUT / EXCAVATION
Block walls typically crack
at the mortar joints
Straight, consistent, and
attractive  poured walls
A drier, healthier, more attractive basement
  • No mortar joints means a more water-tight basement, which
    means fewer warranty callbacks for the builder, and fewer
    leaks and other headaches for the homeowner.
  • Fewer cracks and moisture problems mean less danger of
    infestations from mold, insects, or rodents.
  • With aluminum forms, the end result of poured walls are
    straight, consistent, attractive walls.
  • For more information on how to most effectively assure a dry,
    comfortable basement, view the waterproofing section.

  • With the many different sizes of form panels that are available with our wall forming system, this allows
    greater flexibility in the configuration of the basement, and therefore quicker, easier design, planning
    and construction of today's more creatively designed homes.
