Along with the obvious benefit of superior durability, the Mercedes Home concrete wall system offers a very high level of wind storm resistance, and the additional benefit of increased energy efficiency by utilizing the principle of thermal mass. The heavy concrete walls have the ability to absorb the heat of the day, before it enters the house, and to release the heat build-up to the night sky when the exterior temperatures drop. Aside from reduced ownership costs, these homes feature unparalleled safety and security, as well as comfort and quiet.
