Production and Characteristics of an Insulated Precast Foundation
Nowadays the insulated precast foundation and walls of a modular home can be made at the same time. This practice saves large amounts of time and money, which makes construction more effective and high quality. Moreover when concrete for insulated precast foundation is formed on the factory, rain and high levels of moisture in the air cannot severely affect the construction process as rain does not interfere with the curing process. Therefore since precast concrete comes handy, most modular home builders use it and we must discuss its production and characteristics.
Characteristics of an Insulated Precast Foundation
Insulated precast foundation is made from precast concrete which contributes to increased fire resistance, smooth surfaces, and increase quality of the structure. These are some of the characteristics which make the precast foundation popular among modular home builders and home buyers.
With its many benefits, insulated precast foundation is predominantly viewed as a commercial and/or industrial key element. More recently insulated precast foundation is being used in the construction of condominiums, apartments and some single family homes. Homes or structures with an insulated precast foundation tend to receive lower insurance premiums due to their durability and fire resistance ability.
Insulated Precast Foundation Production
The construction of insulated precast foundation starts with the formation of precast concrete in a secure and controlled factory to ensure concrete is cured properly. Ideal conditions help control the environment so the best product is produced.
Precast concrete use by insulated precast foundation advocates is set in a form which is used to shape the concrete that is poured into it. The form is first lubricated so the concrete is easily removed. The poured concrete is allowed to mostly cure, and then removed. By the time the precast concrete reaches the job site, it’s completely cured.
