Why use precast concrete? There are many sound reasons for using precast. Permatile Concrete Products Co. is a leader in precast concrete and we understand the benefits of precast for our customers.

WHY USE PRECAST CONCRETE?

Large-scale construction is turning more and more often to precast concrete. There are countless advantages to concrete products.

Here are some of the top reasons to use precast for your next project.

UNMATCHED PRODUCT QUALITY

Precast concrete is high quality because it is manufactured in a controlled environment. This creates products that are more durable and long-lasting than other types of concrete.

Products are monitored and inspected before leaving for the job site to ensure the concrete exceeds all expectations.

Permatile’s indoor production facility is certified by the National Precast Concrete Association. To maintain our NPCA credentials, we must pass periodic, unannounced on-site certifications inspections by an independent, nationally accredited engineering firm.

PRECAST CONCRETE IS FASTER

Precast concrete has a key advantage and that is speed.

The products can be cast before fieldwork has even begun. Our product production will not be delayed by the weather. We are ready to go when you are.

We have an efficient delivery model to help accelerate your project schedule.

Completing projects on time reduces costs for everyone.

VERSATILITY

Precast is versatile and suitable for almost any project.

The precast concrete can be created in virtually any shape, size, color, or finish. Our in-house designers believe “If it can be precast … we can precast it!”

We love to work with our customers to create a precast product that works for their project.

AFFORDABILITY

You will not be compromising quality when you buy our precast products. You will however save money. Concrete is more affordable than many other construction materials.

Using precast simplifies the construction process which will reduce costs.

Concrete structures have fewer costs to repair or maintain. These structures are less likely to be damaged and have low-cost maintenance.  Structures are built to last many, many years.

WORK ZONE SAFETY

Construction sites have many safety hazards. Anytime those hazards can be reduced or minimized, it saves the project money and worry.

The precast concrete products are manufactured off-site. This reduces the number of workers and equipment on-site. These reductions naturally improve work zone safety.

ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY

Precast concrete is an environmentally-friendly choice. It is a completely recyclable product. There is no wastage on construction sites from precast.

It is made from natural raw materials that are available in large quantities almost anywhere.

Because the products are precast off-site, it reduces debris on the construction site and there are fewer construction vehicles, thereby reducing emissions.

THERMAL FRIENDLY

Concrete is thermally efficient and this is a big cost advantage for owners. Precast is actually denser so it won’t move heat out of your building or structure.

Concrete reacts slowly to changes in outside temperatures. This will reduce peak heating and cooling loads by keeping the heat in during the winter and keeping heat out during the summer. This can reduce costs year-round.

ENVIRONMENT RESISTANT

Precast concrete can limit a fire’s ability to spread. The concrete cannot catch fire and won’t burn.

Buildings that use large-scale precast are more resistant to fire. As a result, if a fire did occur there would be less damage than a building that was built with other materials.

Precast concrete is also resistant to rain, wind, earthquakes, termites, other insects, mold, and overall decay.

NOISE REDUCTION & WIFI COMPATIBLE

The density of precast concrete reduces and absorbs sound and noise. This makes it perfect for many different projects from roadways to residential construction.

It provides acoustic insulation for large-scale construction projects.

In addition to noise reduction, precast is also Wi-Fi compatible. It does not interfere with radio signals, local Wi-Fi, or internet networks.
