Superior Walls Highlighted on the History Channel's "Modern Marvels: The Basement"

New Holland, PA - Superior Walls of America is again featured on national television as a key player in America's homebuilding industry on the popular cable television program, "Modern Marvels: The Basement," this coming Tuesday night, April 26.

"The Superior Walls foundation system is truely a modern marvel and the future of residential foundations. We're honored The History Channel and Modern Marvels feels our precast foundation systems should be included in their upcoming show on the history and future of the basement," says Aaron Schoeneberger, Superior Walls Director of Marketing.

The History Channel provides this brief synopsis for the upcoming episode:

"Venture down that creaky staircase to explore the most misunderstood room in the house! From Pompeii to Pittsburgh, the dark, cool, and forlorn spaces beneath our living quarters have always contained things that helped us live comfortably. Ancient Hittites, Phrygians and Persians carved subterranean rooms for food, water and wine storage and for shelter from weather and marauders. For ancient Greeks and Romans, a basement greatly increased a house's value. Ruins of homes at Pompeii reveal the importance of basements in providing both heat and storage for rich Roman families. Renaissance architects placed kitchens, servant quarters and laundry rooms there, hidden from the eyes of their aristocratic patrons!

Colonial Americans expanded the practice and by the 20th century, the basement was a routine feature. Come along as we demystify this domestic underworld, which turns out to be an area of innovation, imagination and creativity."
