Ready-Mix Concrete is Sure to Improve Your Next Project

There are several different things you can use for a foundation of a home, but the one that has been proven to be best is concrete. Our concrete supplier, Loflin Concrete, Inc. has what you need to build a firm foundation for the home you are building. Here are a few benefits of building with concrete:

Efficiency

The home built with concrete is a lot more effective because it is less likely to have spaces and holes in the foundation. This naturally makes all the heating and cooling systems installed later more efficient than if the home was built with a different material.

Sustainability

It is easy to think that wood is the most sustainable material to build with because there are trees all around us. However, concrete is a very sustainable resource as well. 

• Reduced waste - Our ready mix concrete is something that can be made as needed, which dramatically cuts down on the amount of wasted materials. We take note of how much concrete we need for each job we do and make concrete on an as needed basis. 

• Recycled material - When there is left over concrete from building the foundation for a home, it can be used for additional features of the home later, like a patio. 

• Abundant resources - The most common type of concrete is made of powdered limestone, which there is an abundance of. Limestone is also one of the most attainable materials on earth. 

Durability

Wood and metals are known to rot and rust when faced with any kid of moisture, but not concrete. 

• Air - Our concrete foundation will keep out all the allergens such as pollen, which will improve the air quality in your home.

• Resistance to moisture - Homes made of concrete will not be heavily affected by moisture from the elements like wood or metal materials.

• Resistance to heat - Concrete is much better at keeping out heat and keeping in the cool air produced by air conditioning or central air.

• Resistance to wildlife and insects - It is common for wildlife to eat away at homes made of wood, but this is not the case for concrete. There are no animals that want to eat or chip away at concrete.

• Structurally sound - Concrete can withstand heavy winds, rain, and all the other common elements.
