| Quick Wall PRECAST HOMES...BUILT TO LAST |
| Do You Know The Green Side of Precast Concrete ? |
The US Green Building Council created the Leadership in Energy and Environmental
Design Green Building Rating System (LEED) in 1998. These established definitions
and measurements are in place to officially recognize buildings as green. Now, LEED
certification has become synonymous with responsible building.
The Quick Wall system is perfect for customers demanding greener more sustainable
buildings. Contractors and Owners are increasingly being asked to provide building
products that demonstrate environmental responsibility. At Quick Wall, our precast
concrete wall system is the ideal solution for most projects registering for LEED
certification. Click on the link below for more LEED information.

| Green Advantages of our Quick Wall precast concrete wall system. |
| Quick Wall precast concrete panels have many Environmental benefits during construction and for the life of the structure. Waste Minimization - Less materials are required because we reuse steel forms and have precise mixture proportions which results in tighter control of quantities. Recycled Content - Fly ash and recycled aggregate CAN be used to reduce the use of virgin materials. Less Building Disturbance - Less dust and waste is created at construction sites because only NEEDED precast concrete elements are delivered. Fewer trucks and less time are required for construction because the concrete wall panels are made off site. The individual Quick Wall precast concrete wall pieces are normally large components, so greater portions of the project are completed more quickly, creating less disruption overall. Energy - Quick Wall precast concrete wall panels combine the thermal mass of concrete with an optimal amount of insulation. This offers greater comfort by reducing air infiltration. It also provides better control for heating, ventilation and air condition (HVAC) systems, saving energy and reducing environmental impact. Acoustic Comfort - Quick Wall precast concrete wall panels reduce sound penetration through the walls by over 80% compared to wood or steel construction. Disaster Resistance - Quick Wall precast concrete wall panels are resistant to termites, fires, winds, hurricanes, wind driven rain and moisture penetration. Life Cycle Cost - Quick Wall precast concrete wall panles have a service life of 100-200 years. Most average building service life range between 50-100 years. Life cycle cost of precast concrete walls means lower maintenance, repair, replacement and energy costs. Durable Quick Wall precast concrete wall panels offers sustain ability for years into the future. |
