The wall is reinforced with rebar and polypropylene fibers providing additional structural strength. In addition, the concrete studs are cast with holes for wiring and factory galvanized steel on each stud for interior finishing.

Superior Walls panels are available in a variety of standard heights and custom lengths to suit your project. The maximum axial load (uniform house weight) for this product is 5500 pounds per linear foot. Special point loads up to 50,000 pounds can be accommodated.

Warranty

Quality Assurance
Each manufacturing plant is regularly inspected by an independent third-party inspection agency to ensure compliance with the Quality Assurance program. In addition, manufacturing and installation personnel are certified by Superior Walls of America, Ltd.

Dampproofing
The concrete used in Superior Walls wall systems provides protection against freeze/thaw cycles and water vapor transmission. The urethane sealant used between panels provides superior protection against water penetration. Therefore, no additional dampproofing materials are required.

Vapor Barrier
The closed cell polystyrene material in the Dow STYROFOAM Insulation provides a vapor barrier for Superior Walls panels.

Fire Resistance
Dow STYROFOAM Insulation exhibits the following surface burning characteristics: flame spread 5 and smoke developed 165.

Superior Walls products qualify as a two-hour fire separation wall when two layers of 5/8" Type 'X' drywall are applied to the studs.
