Concrete House

The Benefits of Concrete Houses

Improved Safety – When a big storm comes through, most of us head straight to the
basement because that is the safest place in the house. A concrete home gives
excellent protection regardless of where you are in the home. This type of construction
also provides safety against fires.

Increased Energy Efficiency – By using concrete for your walls instead of wood
framing you are saving energy in two ways. One way is that concrete does not let airflow freely through it because it is an air tight system. Secondly, concrete slows the rate
in which hot or cold air is able to pass through the wall. A concrete home can save you
significant money on your monthly utility bills.

Elimination of Insects and Mold –There is no food to attract bugs when building with
concrete walls. They can’t eat though the concrete so they stay outside. Also, since the
walls are air tight, water can’t get in either. Therefore no harmful mold can grow.

Improved Air Quality – Concrete walls improve the quality of the air inside because
pollen and other airborne problems cannot pass through the walls. This also provides
for better efficiency for the HVAC system.

Quiet Living – It is estimated that noise is reduced by 80% over that of a wood-framed
house due to the inability of the sound to pass through the larger mass of the concrete.
