Envirocast® Brochure

Concrete is widely recognized as a superior structural building material having numerous benefits. ENVIROCAST combines the benefits of concrete with the speed of prefabrication to offer the most advanced wall solution available.

Features

• Bucks for Windows & Doors – every rough opening includes a cast-in buck for efficient window & door installation.

• Exterior Finishes – float, brick stamp, board & batten, and more.

• Wall Heights – Typical nominal wall panel heights include 8’-0”, 8’-8”, 9’-4”, 10’-0”, 10’-8”, 12’-0”, and more.

• Delivery and Installation - Our scope includes the critical steps of delivery and installation of the prefabricated wall system, providing a turnkey service for dependability.

Envirocast walls are fully insulated and pre-studded providing paint-ready exterior and electrical-rough-in-ready interior.

Benefits

FOR BUILDERS

• Expedited Timeline of Construction

  • Prefabricated walls are typically set within 1 day for a single-story home including paint ready exterior & studded interior. Envirocast replaces the numerous CMU construction steps from placing block to cementitious coating.

• Contribution to Energy Star for 45L Tax Credit

  • Significantly improved thermal properties, continuous insulation, and tighter house provide reduced HERS Index, improved Blower Door Test, and require no additional insulation to meet Energy Star.

• No Cementitious Coating Required

  • Solid concrete doesn’t need cementitious coating for water-resistance or hiding CMU!

• Downsized Mechanical Equipment

  • Walls with U=0.06 means less work and potential downsizing for mechanical equipment.

• Waste Cleanup & Haul Reduction

  • No more CMU waste cleanup and piles for disposal.

• 2-hour Fire Rating for Townhome & Multi-Family Separation Walls

  • A simple solution to provide fire separation walls between units.

• Simplified Electrical

  • No punching into CMU to install receptacles! Integral metal studs are pre-punched to receive electrical.

• Consistency of supply

  • Made in advance, pre-inspected, and factory quality.

FOR OWNERS

• Significant lifecycle energy cost reduction for heating & cooling.

• Cellulose elimination for everything but window bucks

• Hurricane resistance & longevity of solid concrete.

• Insurance savings vs wood frame.

• Improved interior air quality.

• Resilient construction.

• Noise reduction.

Speed of Installation

Build Faster, Sell Faster

Due to shortages of onsite trade labor, the residential housing industry is unable to keep up with the demand for rapid home construction. Factory prefabrication greatly increases the speed of residential home construction and shortens the time to occupancy. Rapid construction speed makes the Envirocast wall system the ideal choice for builders and developers who need to build faster and get homes to market sooner. Exterior walls for a small single-family home can be installed in hours vs days, including integral insulation and studs for maximum efficiency.

Time Matters

When time is a priority and quality is a requirement, builders turn to Envirocast wall systems, engineered and designed to increase speed of construction. Flexible designs are highly adaptable and can be easily sized to meet specific project requirements.

Trade Consolidation through Prefabrication

Trade Consolidation

Envirocast walls combine the work of multiple trades through factory prefabrication, eliminating costly time from the onsite construction schedule as well as the delays often resulting from interdependent trades. Same day wall installation requires no long-term site space or costly site cleanup and disposal of CMU waste piles.

Multitrade Challenges

CMU construction requires multiple trades and numerous process steps that are interdependent and time consuming. In addition, CMU construction requires valuable dedicated site space for materials. Envirocast streamlines and simplifies residential construction.

Strength, Quality, Compliance, and Sustainability

Strength and Durability
The strength, durability, and fire resistance of concrete makes Envirocast the ideal wall solution in areas affected by severe weather events, such as hurricanes, tornadoes, flooding, or wildfires.

Consistent Quality
Envirocast walls are manufactured in a factory-controlled environment to the rigid standards of the CXT quality control program allowing for inspection before delivery to your jobsite. Plant controlled conditions allow for tighter tolerances and sharper, cleaner edges.

Compliance
Envirocast wall systems meet State of Florida and national building codes, as well as the latest energy codes.

Sustainability
Envirocast will make significant contributions to Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) and Home Energy Rating System (HERS) standards and complies with the latest green building practices. Thermal properties, continuous insulation, and tighter building envelope provided by ENVIROCAST will typically reduce the HERS Index, improve the Blower Door Test, and require no additional insulation to meet Energy Star when compared to some conventional homebuilding practices.

In addition, Envirocast incorporates recycled materials, and up to 95 percent of Envirocast materials are reclaimable and can be recycled into new structures. Envirocast is designed and engineered to be the future of green building.
