INTERNATIONAL BUILDERS' SHOW
WORLD OF CONCRETE

Brought to you by PCA, Dow Chemical Company, and Team Concrete in partnership with Habitat for Humanity



Window and door frames are placed in their proper positions on the casting bed before casting the concrete. The casting can be completed on or off the job site.
The initial layer of reinforcing and concrete is placed in the form.
Specially engineered STYROFOAM brand insulation is placed on top of the first layer of concrete immediately after leveling.
After the concrete has cured, the panels are loaded on trucks
Concrete panels are delivered to the job site, saving time and labor cost.
Sandwiched between layers of concrete, the STYROFOAM brand insulation and composite connectors help create a solid wall that delivers superior energy efficiency, unparalleled moisture resistance and high compressive strength.
The insulating value of STYROFOAM is maximized when sandwiched between layers of concrete, which can store significant amounts of thermal energy and delay heat transfer.
STYROFOAM brand T-MASS Technology combines energy-efficient insulation and patented connectors that makes it possible to convert virtually any conventional blueprint into a plan for a concrete shell.
The interior partition walls are conventionally built using studs, then blended into the concrete exterior shell.
Equipment and design technology let licensed precasters achieve maximum creativity in precast concrete design.
Builders and homeowners can choose from a variety of exterior finishes, including brick, stucco, siding or stone.
