Cast-In-Place Concrete Homes
Cast-In-Place Concrete Homes utilize the traditional concrete forming commonly used in residential basements. The process uses temporary forms to frame the building envelope. A rigid foam insulation and steel reinforcements are used inside the forms. The concrete is then cast into the forms on either side of the foam insulation. The forms are removed immediately following the curing process, and traditional exterior and interior finishes are applied.
A cast in place home is fire resistant, and has the ability to withstand high wind occurrences such as tornadoes and hurricanes. A cast-in-place home is resistant to dry rot, decay, insect infestations, fungus, mold and mildew. The home creates a reduced air infiltration, minimizes "cold spots" and allows less dust in the air. CIP homes also resist rapid temperature change due to the thermal mass inherent in concrete. The combination of tight construction and thermal mass creates lower heating and cooling costs for the homeowner.
