Why Is SmartWall Just Now Being Introduced?
In recent years the rules have changed. The challenges of competing wall systems, the growing cost of construction, the high cost of worker compensation insurance, the heightened focus on energy and real world fire performance, and the opportunity for female masons have created a demand for high performance masonry materials. SmartWall meets the needs of today's market, and gives specifiers all the best reasons to choose concrete masonry over competing wall systems.
