CWCWALLS - Just the Facts

Fire Resistance

Because of its increased density and joint-free construction, poured walls offer twice the fire resistance of hollow core block.

Poured Wall Basements - The Concrete Solution

The solution to today's foundation needs is cast in concrete. Poured concrete walls provide builders and owners with stronger, drier and better basements. They offer performance that block walls simply can't match. And, they do it at a competitive price.

Solid concrete basements offer these important advantages:
Strength Solid concrete has an ultimate flexural strength many times greater than block making it better able to resist cave-ins caused by lateral pressures of wind, earth and water. Its ultimate compressive strength is also greater, making it better able to support vertical building loads. And, poured concrete walls get stronger as they age - for up to 5 years.		Water Resistance Solid concrete walls are essentially impervious to the passage of water Solid concrete has fewer and smaller voids than block and is less porous. It offers almost twice the density of hollow core block and weighs approximatety 50 lbs more per cubic foot. As a result, poured concrete basements stay drier.
Maintenance Ease Poured concrete basements need virtually no maintenance. Concrete's composition is resistant to rotting, decay, rodents, termites and fungi. Poured concrete is non-toxic. Solid concrete wall basements take care of themselves.		Design Flexibility Poured wall construction is adaptable to most home styles; including ranches, duplexes, split levels, condominiums, and apartments. The walls can be finshed in a variety of attractive choices such as smooth, stucco, brick, board and batten, fluted, and many others. Poured concrete fits in perfectly with today's diverse lifestyles.
Affordability Controlling costs is one of the biggest concerns of home builders and buyers alike. Efficient modern construction methods make poured wall basements cost competitive with block walls. And, when you can get this much performance at a comparable price, why look any further?		Time Savings Using poured wall construction gives the builder a head start on framing. A typical poured wall installation involves a three-day cycle. When compared to block construction, this saves the builder time, increases productivity, and results in a superior basement.
