Artisan Precast is Pleased To Announce Their Precast "Green" Concrete Fence Alternative

As a leading innovator in concrete fencing, Artisan Precast is pleased to announce an alternative to CMU and traditional masonry fencing with superior, environmentally-friendly characteristics.

Los Angeles, California (Vocus) January 13, 2009 -- Artisan Precast, a leader in precast concrete walls and fences is offering a more eco-friendly line of precast concrete fencing and walling solutions for 2009. Artisan Precast's brands have been used for residential, commercial, industrial and government projects for over 27 years.

Artisan Precast has always been conscious of the effect that building materials have on the environment from production to installation and, ultimately, landfill. By utilizing eco-friendly products in the manufacturing process - including VOC and mercury-free molds, water-based release agents, and recycled materials to reduce the use of cement - they have found a way to make a durable, sustainable, aesthetically pleasing material, while reducing the product's carbon impact.

Precast concrete is concrete that has been poured into molds or forms, and allowed to harden at a manufacturing plant and then shipped to the job site for installation. Precast concrete allows end users more aesthetic choices as it can be colored and rendered to resemble wood fences, brick walls, stone walls and more. Artisan Precast's wall and fence products are integrally colored in the factory which eliminates the need for painting at the project site thus eliminating VOC release from paints and stains. Further, as color is part of the concrete, ongoing paint maintenance is not required.

Artisan Precast's "greener concrete" solutions are unique because they are made using recycled cementitious material to reduce the cement component of the product while yielding a psi (strength) of over 5,000. These concrete fence and wall alternative solutions last for decades and repairs are quick and easy. This reduces the use of fossil fuels and landfill use.
