Benefits
 

Solid Wall Construction offers unparalleled benefits for both builders and homeowners. After an active hurricane season, interest in solid wall construction is at an all-time high. These homes are much more likely to withstand hurricane force winds. Energy savings, efficient building methods, and superior wind resistance are leading to a revolution in Florida building methods.

Extensive wind engineering has been performed by major universities that show solid concrete walls can withstand, in simulated laboratory conditions, impact from flying debris at speeds up to 100 mph carried by 250 mph winds. These tests have shown that solid concrete walls have survived with no structural damage Walls constructed from lightweight steel of wood stud walls offer little or no resistance to the flying debris.
