What are some of the added benefits of building with concrete?

The use of a concrete structure in a Sollars Home™ results in a more comfortable, more tranquil living environment. In addition to the reduced temperature variation described earlier, a Sollars Home™ is quieter than a POWH because concrete is an extremely good insulator for noise. Concrete is more permanent than wood, so a Sollars Home™ will not degrade with age like a POWH, and will look better for longer than a wood home and will require less maintenance. Concrete is much more resistant to damage from water, so we use it to our advantage to create the year-round indoor/outdoor living areas that are possible in the bay area. We can use this capability to provide custom indoor gardens and fountains as desired. Contact us directly to discuss your ideas. The increased strength of a Sollars Home™ means that it can retain the earth. This results in a large cost savings for sites where the home must be inset into a hillside. A Sollars Home™ has a projected lifespan in the hundreds to thousands of years.
