Platinum Earth Craft Home
Superior Walls of Central VA and Hall Design Collaborative, LLC of Lexington, VA are pleased to announce the first Platinum rated Earth Craft in Virginia. The Platinum rating is the highest rating for an Earth Craft home.
The environmentally home is located at 522 Taylor Street in Lexington, Virginia. All of the above grade walls are constructed of pre-cast concrete walls, supplied by Superior Walls of Central Virginia located in Amelia, VA. The roof and integrated second floor are made of SIPs (Structural Insulated Panels), supplied by SIPs of America located in Danville, VA. The property is located next to a Lexington City playground, so a pre-cast fence was installed by East Coast Precast of Amelia, VA for privacy. The home contains many innovative earth friendly products, and designed for superior energy savings.
Superior Walls are pre cast concrete walls, which can be used both below and above ground. All of the walls are custom, insulated to exceed building codes and pre-studded for easy finishing. The walls require no additional water proofing, and are guaranteed to be dry. The entire Taylor Street project was set by Superior Walls in one day. Superior Walls are very green building compatible, energy and time saving.
To learn more about this project or make a visit to this first of it’s kind project in Virginia, please contact Heidi Schweizer-Hall, LEED AP of Hall Design Collaborative, LLC @ 540-460-1891.
