SEE THE DIFFERENCE, FEEL THE DIFFERENCE

Beauty and Versatility

From the outside you would never guess a Reward house is made of concrete. That’s because of the unique design of the recessed plastic ties within the Reward expanded polystyrene (EPS) forms. These ties act as furring strips and allow your Reward home to be finished inside and out just like any other house…except your Reward house will be much stronger and better insulated.

A Reward house can have design features like curved walls and arched windows—Reward easily adapts to any floor plan you choose.

A Reward concrete home offers safe haven from the noise and pollution of the outside world.

Clean and Quiet

The first thing you notice in a Reward house is how quiet it is. Reward walls have achieved a sound transmission class decibel rating that makes it one of the “quietest” building products on the market. In a Reward house you can turn up the volume on the stereo without bothering the neighbors. And the noise of a lawn mower outside would be reduced to the level of a whisper inside.

The next thing you notice is the wonderful quality of the air. Reward walls greatly reduce the amount of air infiltration, and therefore reduce the level of airborne dust and allergens. If, like many of us, you or your family members are prone to allergies, you will breathe easier…and you won’t have to dust nearly as often!

A Reward concrete home offers the comfort of even temperatures winter and summer, and protection from the elements.

Comfort and Safety

When you walk around inside a Reward house, you notice that the temperature remains constant no matter what part of the house you’re in. Upstairs, downstairs, basement—they’re all the same. A Reward house stays cool in the summer and warm in the winter, with no cold or hot spots. The temperature is uniform throughout the house.

Think of the peace of mind you would have knowing your family is living in a concrete house that can protect them from and hazardous storms and fire. Reward steel-reinforced concrete walls have stood up to winds of more than 200 mph with no damage to the walls themselves. With Reward, you have more than a safe room—you have a safe house! In case of fire, the outside walls of wood frame houses soon ignite, burn and collapse, creating a hazard for anyone inside the house. But Reward concrete walls have been proven to withstand fire for as much as four hours, affording you and your family a much greater degree of safety.

A Reward concrete home is affordable.

Savings

After seeing the quality of a Reward concrete home, many people wonder if they can afford to build one. The answer is definitely yes! Granted, depending on the size and design of your house, you could pay from 0% to 5% more in up-front construction costs. But, over the long term these costs are reduced or reimbursed in a number of ways:

Smaller heating and cooling units

Lower monthly energy bills—you can save as much as 50% to 80% on heating and cooling

Lower insurance costs

Shorter construction time

No extra costs for furring or insulation—your walls are ready to finish

Low maintenance costs

Greater resale value

While the financial benefits of owning a Reward super-insulated, steel-reinforced concrete home are significant, the peace of mind it will provide is priceless! You will have the satisfaction of knowing you have provided your family with:

Unmatched safety in case of fire or violent storms

A clean, quiet, comfortable interior environment

Future natural resources— you save 50-80% of the fuel needed to heat a comparable wood house. Also, most concrete contains some recycled content; and you will save more than 13 trees that otherwise would be used in a wood house.

A durable house that retains its value—a concrete home is built to last
