What Is A Concrete Wall?
Concrete walls are integral to the construction of both residential and commercial buildings. We build walls to serve as a load-bearing structure to transfer loads from floors to walls or foundations. We can also use it to divide spaces in multi-storey buildings.
There are many forms of concrete walls. Concrete contractors build one depending on the project. Meanwhile, it is the job of structural engineers to determine the most suitable type of concrete wall to use. Later on, we will discuss some of the most popular types of concrete walls.
Benefits of Installing Concrete Walls
Concrete has been the most popular construction material for years. It is widely used around the world. This is no surprise since concrete offers many advantages. The use of concrete walls, in particular, allows you to enjoy these benefits:
Durability
Concrete can withstand extreme temperatures and changing weather conditions. It is a robust material. It does not easily rot or wear off like other materials. Proper installation and maintenance can last for decades or even a lifetime.
Fire-Resistance
One of the best qualities of concrete is its resistance to extreme heat. Even fire cannot easily tear it down. Thus, making it an ideal material for building houses and other structures.
Design Flexibility
This applies specifically to poured concrete walls. Unlike cinder blocks or precast walls, you can easily adjust while pouring concrete on the mold. You can achieve any design or shape you desire for your wall.
Easy Maintenance
Walls made of concrete have minimal maintenance requirements. It is so easy to maintain that you do not need a professional to come over and do the maintenance work. You can do it by yourself using basic cleaning materials at home.
Low Cost
The initial cost may be higher comparing it to other materials. But in the long run, you will save more money. As mentioned, concrete is easy to maintain. Thus, you save money from maintenance costs. More so, with proper wall installation, it should take years before you may need a repair or replacement.
Types of Concrete Walls
There are several types of concrete walls to choose from. But, there are also a lot of factors to consider when choosing one. At Knoxville Concrete Contractors Co, our concrete experts will take care of everything for you. We have a team of structural engineers to assess the project and recommend the perfect solution. You can rest easy knowing you are working with the experts with us.
Meanwhile, for your reference, below is the list of the different concrete walls we offer:
Poured Concrete Walls
As the name suggests, poured walls involve pouring fresh concrete into the mold. This type of concrete wall is ideal for retaining walls, foundation, and decorative walls. The installation of a poured concrete wall can be time-consuming. That is because it involves a thorough process to ensure the wall is strong enough to withstand the test of time.
Our company ensures we provide you with a poured wall that will last for decades. Thus, we ensure to install vertical reinforcement into the formwork before pouring wet concrete. Vertical reinforcement is crucial in ensuring the wall can resist stresses caused by shear or flexural loads. We use high-quality steel rebar for this process. Furthermore, we also install horizontal reinforcements that run straight through the wall. A horizontal reinforcement blocks vertical rebar from buckling, preventing structures from collapsing.
Precast Concrete Walls
Precast walls are made in a manufacturing facility and are delivered straight to the construction site. They come in many forms and sizes. Some are solid panels, while others are made with reinforcements. Precast walls require less time for installation. You no longer have to mix concrete, pour it, and wait for it to cure. Also, precast walls are flexible enough to install them in any climate zone.
Concrete Block Walls
Concrete blocks come in various shapes and sizes. They are pre-made in a factory, like precast concrete, and the manufacturer delivers them straight to the site. Manufacturers make blocks from standard concrete with Portland cement, sand, and gravel aggregate. Meanwhile, our concrete contractors build a concrete block wall in a brick-laying style, putting mortar between the blocks. We put cap blocks on top to cover the block wall to complete the process.
Stamped Concrete Walls
Concrete stamping is a method we use to mimic more expensive construction materials using concrete. The stamping process is a cheaper alternative to using natural stone, bricks, or wood for your wall. We can also customize a design for you for a more personalized, unique concrete wall.
Decorative Concrete Walls
Plain concrete walls are becoming a thing of the past. Today, many homeowners prefer adding a personal touch to their walls. We do so by adding color, texture, or pattern of your choice. We can also custom design depending on your taste and style.
