No functional obsolescence. Simple elegance.
Greatly extended return on investment
Widest possible wall footprint to maximize stiffness with minimal concrete,same principle as scaffolding..
40% of concrete removed through strategic voids
At 14.7 pounds per square foot, easily handled for manual installation
Most prevalent 24” x 16” x 2” panel weighs only 37 pounds.
Wall cavity and attachment grid facilitates partitioning of the cavity for innumerable applications
Can use bulk materials from onsite dirt to sand, gravel, cellular concrete for maximum thermal mass
Free versatile forming for cast in place reinforced concrete columns and bond/spandrel beams minimize slab thickness.
Facilitates easy air ducting and conduit bundles for hard wired systems eliminating EMF exposure
.Totally fireproof with concrete roof
Walk out roof top patio design
Design to any strength for tornado and hurricane resistance
Eliminate expensive problematic homeowners insurance
Quiet, privacy, no vibration transmission
No exterior scaffolding as exterior panels are easily installed from inside.
Walls radiate long wave infrared warmth together with radiant slab for cozy interior
Framing, sheathing, paper wrap, siding, drywall, all eliminated
Expensive faux brickwork eliminated
Beveled interior panels give symmetry and a 3D aesthetic. This instills a visual and intuitive feeling of solidness and well being.
Tremendous return on investment
Maintenance free, no need to paint ever
Splined panel perimeter creates horizontal and vertical joints for maximum ductility in earthquakes.
Panels can be used singly (not in pairs) for non load bearing interior walls with just a two inch wide footprint.
No need for trades to perforate frame construction.
Electrical boxes are directly cast in the panel to the designer's specification. Easy conduit runs and attachments are made inside the wall cavity.
Panels are also sleeved during casting for plumbing penetrations as specified by the designer.
Strategically placed access doors may also be cast into panels to access into wall cavity
For high rise, walls can be installed first and then used as free forming for columns and beams for more widespread structural support.
Conducive to rocket stove installation inside wall
No structural damage from flooding. Clean out the mud and pressure wash
Can attach to steel stud construction for wall cladding
High mass provides increased protection against radiation
May be (according to common sense) very resistant to earthquake forces.
