Powerful Concrete

It may take years before coastal communities rebuild from the 2012 destruction of Hurricane Sandy. Research tells us that concrete buildings have the best chance of surviving hurricane-force wind and rain, but not everyone wants to live in a monolithic dome home.

Other options exist. Homes constructed with insulated concrete forms come in many shapes and sizes, and the sturdy concrete construction can withstand storm-force wind and destructive floods. Consider that many bridges are made from concrete.

Still not convinced? Take a look at the digital online Concrete Homes Magazine and consider the possibilities.
