Artisan Precast Barrier Products Designed With Green Construction In Mind
(HIT) - Artisan Precast of Los Angeles manufactures precast concrete fencing and barrier solutions that are preferred by builders, architects, and engineers alike. Why? In part, professionals choose Artisan’s products because they’re designed with particular attention to helping preserve the environment
Artisan applies eco-friendly standards across all production phases, from manufacturing to installation. The result is a line of precast concrete products crafted to meet or exceed green building guidelines in several ways:
- We manufacture our molds here in the United States using VOC- and mercury-free polymers. These molds are built to last for years, whereas multi-part or liner molds wear out quickly and need frequent replacement.
- Our fence component system is customized for each project to ensure minimal waste at the job site—which in turn helps preserve the landfills and cuts down on dumping costs. Pallets are recycled.
- We use water-based agents in the manufacturing process.
- Artisan’s fencing system is engineered for durability. At the same time, the system reduces the necessary foundation concrete and steel by as much as 35% compared to traditional masonry materials (such as brick or concrete block).
- Color integrated into the concrete mix means the products need no painting or staining, which again avoids VOC release into the environment. The color has a fade rate of less than 2% over 10 years, which means virtually zero painting maintenance.
- The molded precast concrete fencing is erected using a component system, making replacement and repair simple and easy—and using less fuel and material than traditional building methods.
- Unlike wood products, Artisan’s barriers require no preservatives to prevent rotting or termite damage. And no trees are destroyed to create an Artisan fence.
- Artisan Precast fencing is much more lightweight than the equivalent brick, stone, CMU, or monolithic concrete panel needed to perform the same function. Thus fewer fossil fuels are consumed transporting materials to the job site.
