The post frame construction industry has a need for higher quality foundation system, and Perma -Column is positioned to meet that need.Since 2003, Perma-Column has been providing permanent foundation systems for post frame buildings, known to most as “pole barns”. Every day we get calls from frustrated building owners who have found that their wood foundation have decayed much earlier than promised. Many builders are concerned by the frequent changes in wood treatments regulated by the EPA. Market studies have shown that progressive builders are building on concrete foundations more than ever. Post frame construction is one of the most attractive, economical, and efficient ways to build. Our patented products combine these advantages with the proven durability of concrete, resulting in a foundation that is permanent.Perma-Columns use the latest in SCC precasting technology to provide three times the strength of standard concrete. Microfibers add shock resistance and durability. Microsilicia enhances flexural/compressive strength and erosion resistance. A corrosion inhibitor protects the rebar reinforcement from rusting, and a final admixture is added to give freeze/thaw protection. The technology incorporated in our special mix guarantees a lifetime of durability. Why Perma-Column Products?• Rotting of the traditional treated wood foundation system.• Builder frustrations from frequent EPA regulations related to the traditional treated wood foundations system.• Market shift towards concrete foundations. Perma-Column is the best of both worlds by providing a concrete foundation, less expensively than a poured concrete foundation Concrete Foundations: Poured foundation wall, poured stem-wall, monoslab
