A free NAHB brochure featuring the advantages of residential concrete is available at www.nahb.org/concrete. |
A new, free brochure featuring the advantages of residential concrete, “At Home With Concrete: A Guide to Residential Concrete,” is available to builders, contractors and home buyers interested in the growing popularity of residential concrete construction.
Once confined to foundations, driveways and swimming pools, concrete now accounts for 16% of all above-grade residential walls ― up from 2% in 1993.
The full-color, 20-page brochure, created by NAHB’s Concrete Home Building Council (CHBC), one of the Building Systems Councils (BSC), provides an overview of residential concrete, including interior and exterior applications and popular above-grade wall systems.
“At Home With Concrete: A Guide to Residential Concrete,” also highlights the advantages of working with concrete including:
- Boosting a builder’s bottom line
- Reduced completion time
- Increased durability
- More eco-friendly
- Numerous design possibilities
“We have seen explosive growth in the use of concrete in residential building over the past few years and expect that trend to continue,” said Michael H. Weber, director of the Portland Cement Association and 2006 CHBC president. “This brochure is a great informational primer to help builders and buyers better understand the multiple advantages and design possibilities for using concrete as an above-grade building material.”
