Superior Walls of New Jersey utilizes the Xi Foundation & Above Grade Wall model for it's superior energy efficiency, incredible strength, and waterproof seals. | more info
The Xi is our newest and most advanced wall to date. It provides more than double the insulation then standard foundation or above grade walls. The Xi has 2.5 inches of continuous EPS Styrofoam insulation 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 is formulated with a special high strength, low-water concrete mix which requires no additional damp proofing. This technology was originally developed for the original R-5, but has remained an integral part in the success of the Xi series.
