THE ADVANTAGES OF THE BUILDING SYSTEM
The house was built according to plans approved by an architect office.
It was constructed on thick reinforced cement foundations.
The walls were built using a new building system consisting of rigid extruded polymer forms filled with concrete.
The structure is reinforced with vertical and horizontal rebars.
The roof is supported by steel beams.
This patented building system offers a lot of advantages :
Neat finish : the smooth and even surface of the walls provides a clean and neat interior and exterior finish ;
No maintenance required : although the product may be painted or stuccoed, it can just stay the way it is, and therefore needs no maintenance at all ;
Strength and durability : the way the concrete is poured inside the polymer pannels prevents cracks and other damages ;
Extreme weather and earthquake resistance : the product has been proven to withstand hurricanes, typhoons, tornadoes and earthquakes ;
Good thermal insulation : through the retention qualities of encased concrete, the system guarantees a better insulation than in standard cement block houses ;
Termite resistance : this product is ideal for use in areas that are prone to termite infestation as it is the case in Belize. Tests have proven that termites were not able to penetrate the walls ;
Environmentally sound : the product is resistant to moisture and mildew. The product components are fully recyclable ;
Long term savings : this product will save you a lot of maintenance and cooling costs over the years.
