Xi Wall
The Xi is our newest and most advanced
wall. Provided with more than double the
insulation, the Xi has 2.5 inches of
continuous 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.
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
discriminating homeowners.
Each Xi Wall is custom manufactured and designed, complete with built-in openings for windows and doors. Superior Walls also feature easy conversion to finished living space. In addition to being pre-insulated, the walls have smart stud facings for easy drywall insulation and pre-engineered access for wiring or small plumbing. As always, factory precast technology allows Xi builders to continue installing custom foundations in virtually any weather. Weaver Precast builder customers are able to build in even the coldest weather when competitors are forced to suspend operations.
