SOLARCRETE INSULATED BUILDING SYSTEM Solarcrete is a built-in-place system using 7-1/4" foam with 2-3/8" of fiber reinforced Shotcrete over rebar on each side, making a twelve inch wall.
Solarcrete is a wall system that is: - Loadbearing - Insulating (clear to the footer with no thermal breaks) - Earthquake and tornado resistant (it is a reinforced concrete wall) - Energy efficient (typical R-value R36) - Soundproof (STC 75) - Fire resistant (two-hour rated) - Proven (in use since early 70's) - Economical (higher insulating values - lower energy costs) - Eye-catching (design allows for curves or other features at little additional cost) - Labor saving (does not require masons). Full height rebar reinforced foam panels install quickly in and around building framing so that Shotcrete can be installed on a high production basis. These features make this wall system cost effective (in-place cost compare to Brick and Block construction)
