STRUCTO-CRETE® Brand Structural Panels Save Time and Lower Costs for Chicago Apartment Complex

The Maria Elena Sifuentes Apartments in Chicago, Illinois was originally slated to be a poured concrete design over a metal deck. Since the project was situated in the middle of a busy neighborhood with limited space, achieving a poured concrete solution would have been an expensive task. After initial delays, the project team made the decision to turn to USG STRUCTO-CRETE® Brand Structural Panels and USG STRUCTO-CRETE® Brand Structural Roof Deck Panels, which not only allowed the general contractor to catch up on their schedule but also lowered overall costs compared to the poured concrete solution. One of the accessible features of STRUCTO-CRETE® Panels is their ease of installation; anyone who can hold a screw gun can install these panels. STRUCTO-CRETE® Panels are cured in the factory, which means electrical contractors and plumbers were able to come in right after the panels were installed. These panels can even make all-weather construction less of a hassle. Thanks to its homogeneous composition, even when the panels get wet, there will be absolutely no damage to the panel.
