Features of an Insulated Precast Concrete Installed for Modular Home Basement
Your modular home needs a basement that is made of insulated precast concrete. This material is proven to be high quality, durable and energy efficient.
But what makes it more popular? Precast concrete gains more popularity because of its features.
Purely Concrete or No Organic Content
Precast concrete has no wood or organic content to attract mold and rot. Designed specifically for basements, these panels will stand up to the toughest conditions –even a basement flood. You’ll never have to worry about mold, wood rot, nasty odors or soggy insulation.
Integral Steel Studs
The steel studs of precast concrete for attaching finished wallboard. The studs provide a broad flange to secure your finished wall materials.
Rigid Foam Insulation
Precast concrete offers unmatched durability for the basement, as it can’t be damaged by moisture or mold, and never falls out of place or loses R-value.
Built-in Wiring Channels
Insulated precast concrete is installed to simplify running electrical wires. There’s no need to drill holes through studs or snake through framing and fiberglass insulation. Horizontal and vertical wiring channels make the job easy for your electrician.
Superior Energy Efficient Precast Concrete
This special graphite-infused foam has higher R-value than standard foam. A completed installation creates a continuous blanket of R-13 insulation to make your basement comfortable and energy efficient.
Narrow Profile Precast Concrete
A narrow profile precast concrete maximizes your basement floor area and simplifies installation. Basement-to-beautiful panels are just 2½ in. thick; that’s a full inch thinner than a standard 2×4 wall. Spray foam adhesive and special plastic fasteners are used to secure the panels to basement walls.
If you find a modular home builder that uses precast concrete, you would know that he is reliable in terms of modular construction.
