The system saves time on the job site and uses special technology to provide a warm, dry basement, its manufacturer says. A typical foundation can be installed and ready for building in as little as five hours, even in cold weather.
Built-in DOW® insulation increases energy efficiency, while high-strength, steel-reinforced 5000+ psi concrete is specially designed to resist water infiltration.
Superior Walls are ready-to-finish and feature easy conversion to finished living space, the company says. In addition to being pre-insulated, the walls have treated wood nailers for easy drywall installation and built-in accesses for wiring or small plumbing.
Some regions are also now offering a new Xi foundation system, which features 2.5 inches of continuous DOW® extruded polystyrene for extra insulation. Nearly everything is insulated, including corners, studs and bond beams.
Monolithically poured, the Xi wall is reinforced with steel rebar for extra strength.
Founded in 1981, Superior Walls designed its system to eliminate age-old home building problems and to provide a quick and easy way to build better basements.
