Basement System

What it is …

•Completely waterproof•Non-biodegradable•Completely recyclable materials, 100% Green •Impervious to All Liquids (Hydrochloric Acid) / all gasses (Radon), and all insects•Materials will not support mould or mildew•Polymer is actually food-safe

Secure

•Insulated to remain cool or warm. R14 as Thermal Wall and can be increased to R40•25% less loss of heat with Thermal Wall•Regular wall can be easily insulated by batts or spray foam.

Warm

•Very easy to run plumbing or electrical wire in walls.•Installation time calculated in hours instead of days.•Can be installed by contractor using standard construction site equipment.•No forms needed for walls!•Ready for drywall.

Quick

•Superior in seismic events. This has resiliency and will not crack. •Many times stronger than a 8” concrete wall.•Steel Studs in place ready to carry house loads that can exceed 4,000 lbs. linear ft.

Strong

Hydroloc Exterior Finishes

Hydroloc Elastomeric Acrylic Finishprovides a protective weathering membrane in a pre-colored, extremely durable, fade and mildew resistant coating. The industry’s highest levels of 100% Acrylic Polymer ensures un-matched resistance to surface cracking unlike standard finishes. An unlimited selection of colors (over 10,000) in four distinct aggregate choices create a wide variety of textureopportunities from the heaviest southwest stucco to the more contemporary sand finish.Maximum Crack Coverage &Bridging AbilitiesBreathable (WVT) = 13 Perms AverageCalcium - Marble Aggregates(Prevents Rust)No Silica SandCoating Integrity - Exceeds 30 Year ExposureComprehensive ASTM Third Party TestingAmerica’s First Elastomeric Acrylic Finish500 Million Feet in Service World WideEqually Effective Regardless of Climate(-70°F to 180°F)Class A Fire RatedNew Construction, Retrofit or RepairNon-biodegradable

Concrete – Environmental Aspects

•Major producer of CO2 – Almost 1 tonne for every tonne of cement produced. (1) This works out to about 200 kg for every tonne of concrete. This represents about 7% of the worlds CO2 production. (2)•The NO x emissions from Canadian cement kilns range from 1.5 to 9.5 kg/tonne of clinker (3)

•Savings in time translate to savings in money. Saves at least a week in building cycle.•Regular 8’ wall is less than the a regular 8” concrete wall and less than ICF in price.•Thermal wall is competitive or less than ICF.

Cost Competitive
