Superior Walls-The Energy Efficient Foundation

At Absolute Construction and Development we love working with Superior Walls for many reasons.  Drainage is essential with a basement.  Superior Walls sit on rock above ground with drain pipes for any water to be able to easily exit.  They are structurally sound, pre-water-proofed, pre-drilled for electrical and pre-insulated so no additional framing is needed to accommodate wiring and insulating.

Originally created as the energy-efficient alternative to traditional foundation methods, Superior Walls products have revolutionized the home building industry. Available for installation year-round in all types of weather, the foundation panels are custom-designed and built to provide warm, dry basements for homeowners – even in the harshest climates.

The Energy Efficient Foundation

The patented design and construction features of the Superior Walls Xi wall systems include one-inch foam insulated concrete studs and one-inch foam insulation on the bond beams to help ensure energy efficiency in the home. Facing against the environment, the panels have a concrete face shell backed by 2-1/2-inches of DOW extruded polystyrene insulation in the Xi wall system and 5 inches of insulation in the Xi Plus wall system.

Superior Construction Advantages

Superior Walls panels are manufactured in climate-controlled environments and then delivered to new home job sites on special carriers.

Superior strength is built into each panel based on the 5,000+ PSI concrete that is used during construction of the panel. The concrete used in Superior Walls products provides lifetime protection against freeze/thaw cycles and water vapor transmission while the urethane sealant used between panels provides superior protection against sidewall water penetration.

The high-strength low-water concrete mix is poured for solid structural integrity and reinforced with steel rebar and polypropylene fibers. Each panel also includes horizontal steel rebar inside top and bottom beams and vertical steel rebar inside each stud.

Rapid Installation – Certified Installation Crews

Manufacturing and installation personnel are certified by Superior Walls of America, Ltd. Cranes are used to carefully lower the custom walls onto a clean crushed stone footing, where the panels are secured together by specially trained, factory-certified crews.

Rapid installation time – normally less than one day – allows builders to begin construction on the home the same day. Superior Walls panels are custom made for each home and are manufactured and delivered complete with built-in openings for windows and doors, pre-engineered access for wiring or small plumbing elements and with smart stud facings for easy drywall installation.
