Xi Superior Walls

Superior Walls are created in a controlled factory environment to ensure that your new home's foundation will be built to the industry's highest standards. The concrete is reinforced with steel rebar, making it stronger than traditional foundations. And Superior Walls can be customized to nearly any architecture, providing you with a maximum of home design flexibility.

The building industry's leaders are building today's new homes with Superior Walls. Certified trained crews install our superior systems typically in less than one day, in virtually any weather. Your builder can save valuable time building your home with the dry, warm, smart, superior solution.

Research indicates that over 33% of the heat loss through the basement occurs at the top 24 inches. That's why Superior Walls foundations feature a continuous layer of insulation bonded directly to the concrete, resulting in high energy efficiency to help you reduce energy costs. Our walls have galvanized steel stud nailers built into the concrete studs so you can easily increase the amount of insulation without any need to install additional framing.

Superior Walls' special 5,000+ psi concrete mix is moisture resistant. Because additional damp-proofing is not required, this can help you save both time and money. With the specified crushed stone footing and perimeter drain, water will be directed away from your foundation, helping to keep your home dry. With our patented technologies and superior manufacturing methods, our basements are the very finest in the world and guaranteed for 15 years.*

The Xi wall's special high strength, low-water concrete mix also requires no additional damp-proofing, benefiting from technology developed for the original R-5. And the Xi meets or exceeds energy conservation requirements from both the IECC and the IRC. The Xi has a striking modern look before drywall installation, due to the galvanized steel stud facings that have replaced treated wood nailers. The high-tech engineering and numerous advanced features of the Xi make it the foundation of the future and the only choice for selective homeowners.

The Xi is our newest and most advanced wall. Provided with more than double the insulation of the original R-5 Superior Wall system, the Xi has 2.5 inches of DOW? Styrofoam for superior warmth and energy efficiency.

Nearly everything is insulated in the Xi, including corners, studs and bond beams. Special engineering makes the wall thermally isolated and insulated from the exterior elements. The new wall is monolithically poured (poured all at once) with high-strength concrete for solid structural integrity and reinforced with steel rebar and polypropylene fibers.
