What is A Premium Structure?

A Premium Structure is an integrated structure system that results in a seamless, solid envelope (except for door and window openings, of course) from the footings to the rafters - no gaps through the wall to compromise efficiency. You can't say that about a stud wall filled with fiberglass!

The structure is based on a wall system from Amvic that uses concrete, captured inside foam forms that provide insulation inside and out. The walls can be finished off any way you like - drywall, stone, siding, you name it. Once it's finished, you'll never guess that the walls are concrete, except that it will be warmer, cheaper to heat and cool, and dead quiet.

To complete the structure, we've researched and selected the products that work the best with an insulated concrete structure.
