85,000th Superior Wall Foundation System Installed 4 January '08 85,000th Superior Walls Foundation System Installed January 04th, 2008 | Category: Corporate News, Franchise News, Public Relations Author: crmartin Superior Walls® marked a milestone anniversary in November when the 85,000th Superior Walls foundation system was installed as the basement of a home in Pennsylvania. In business since 1981, Superior Walls creates and installs precast insulated concrete panel systems that are custom-designed and built to complement any architectural style. The system has been pre-engineered to provide a fast and easy way to construct better and drier basements. “During a time when the housing industry is experiencing a sustained downturn, we are experiencing growth in market share,” according to Aaron Schoeneberger, director of marketing for Superior Walls. “We believe there are several reasons for our continued growth. First, our panel systems are environmentally sensible, energy-efficient additions to the home, which benefit the homeowner. Second, the systems install in a day, which saves jobsite time and labor. Third, builders are currently seeking out unique products that position them competitively in the marketplace — especially during this economic downturn. Superior Walls foundation systems allow builders to offer their customers warm, dry basements that can be used for added living space in the home.” Energy Efficiency Advantages Xi™ wall panels from Superior Walls meet or exceed energy conservation requirements from both the IECC and the IRC. One-inch foam insulated concrete studs and one-inch foam insulation on the bond beams help ensure energy efficiency in the home. Facing against the environment, the panels’ concrete face shell is backed by 2-1/2-inches of continuous DOW® Styrofoam, which helps builders achieve an ENERGY STAR® rating, for superior warmth and energy efficiency in the home. Superior Walls panels always arrive “dampproof” from the factory and also allow for increasing the amount of insulation without the need for additional framing. The patented wall systems from Superior Walls are custom built to a project’s specification in nearly any home style, allowing homeowners to save on energy bills while gaining additional living space in the home. Installation Advantages Superior Walls panels are manufactured in a climate-controlled environment and then delivered to new home job sites on special carriers. Cranes are used to carefully lower the custom walls onto a prepared bed of clean, crushed stone, where the panels are permanently fixed into place by specially trained, factory-certified crews. Rapid installation (usually in less than one day) allows builders to begin construction on the home the same day. Superior Walls panels are custom manufactured for each home complete with built-in openings for windows and doors, pre-engineered access for wiring or small plumbing elements and with smart stud facings for easy drywall installation. Available nationwide through franchises in 26 states, more than 85,000 Superior Walls foundations have been installed since 1981 when the company introduced the original R-5 Superior Walls precast foundation system.
