\"Precast<\/a>Poured concrete and precast concrete are two materials use in modular home construction. Both serve big part in the home building process.\u00a0 But what do we know about them? Do they have the same features?<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s look at the features of poured concrete and precast concrete<\/a> to compare them:<\/p>\n

Time of Installation of Precast Concrete and Poured Concrete<\/h3>\n

Installation of precast concrete<\/strong> and poured concrete has a little difference. Precast concrete walls can be completed quickly \u2013 often in just a day or two and are not as susceptible to weather delays. Poured concrete walls are assembled for two to four days.<\/p>\n

Psi of Precast Concrete and Poured Concrete<\/h3>\n

Precast walls are typically poured at a higher psi \u2013 around 5000.\u00a0 Poured concrete walls<\/a> are a lower 3500 psi. However, the poured wall is solid throughout rather than 24\u201d on center, so it doesn\u2019t need the stiffer mix necessarily.<\/p>\n

Drainage System of Precast Concrete and Poured Concrete<\/h3>\n

Pea gravel footing of precast option<\/a> allows for superior drainage. On a poured wall system, water has to get around the concrete footing to reach the tile, which builds pressure, or flow into a secondary tile inside the footing to get out.<\/p>\n

Warranty of Precast Concrete and Poured Concrete<\/h3>\n

Precast concrete options may come with a warranty.\u00a0 It usually carries a 15 year limited warranty. Poured walls<\/strong> usually do not have a guarantee.<\/p>\n

Precast concrete advocates boast that since the walls are poured square at the factory, the final product is guaranteed to be plumb, level, and square.\u00a0 However, as with any product, installation can make it or break it.\u00a0 We have built on both precast and poured walls numerous times, and there is no guarantee that either product is superior in this regard.<\/p>\n
