Six Concrete Reasons for Choosing Cement

Six Concrete Reasons for Choosing Cement

Cement as a building material is often associated with iconic modern structures and is a practical material for affordable family and leisure homes.

Pre-fabricated cement can be a simple, costeffective construction method that offers a number of other benefits.

New manufacturing methods allow for flexibility in design and structure and give the home owner a great deal of choice when designing their home using pre-fabricated cement panels.

Setting New Standards These days, cement panels can be manufactured off-site to create standardised components which are then transported to site and assembled on site.

The two key advantages of this kind of approach is the fact you are then assured of both factory-quality and quality-tested components and a very short build time.

But prefabricated cement panels also offer other advantages to home owners in terms of the special durability and the characteristics of cement as a building material.

The Special Qualities of Cement First there’s a reduced fire risk: building with cement can help to improve the buildings’ fire ratings and reduce the costs of fireproofing.

Second, there’s the low maintenance: modular buildings built with prefabricated

cement panels require very little ongoing maintenance to the external structure.

This is, in part, because of their resistance to mould and mildew.

Third, they are relatively impervious to the external weather conditions.

They stay relatively cool in summer and keep the heat in well in the winter. Most compellingly, modular buildings built with prefabricated cement panels are very strong structures that can

Withstand tempestuous weather conditions: they are able to withstand storms and hurricane conditions well.

Six Concrete Reasons to Choose Cement In summary, then, the advantages of pre-fabricated cement panels include:      

Flexible design High-quality factory-tested standardised components A greatly reduced build time Improved fire ratings Low maintenance Highly durable buildings – whatever the prevailing weather conditions.
