With security concerns increasing in South Africa, more and more people are preferring precast concrete walling as a secure safety solution, and it makes perfect sense. People have been protecting their families and property using barriers for millennia – first with wooden spikes, then bricks made of mud and wooden gates, followed by stones and rocks with metal gates. Each level of security became stronger as the threat of invasion increased and weaponry and technology advanced.
We, at MFB Walling, understand that the days of having a waist-high fence to keep pets in rather than strangers out are unfortunately long gone. Today, your family should be afforded even better protection than those of our ancestors and surrounding the perimeter of your property with a secure safety barrier is a great place to start. More and more people are investing in precast concrete walling to procure a more permanent and lasting structure.
Here are four fundamental reasons why precast concrete walling and concrete palisade fencing are the preferred solution:
- Strength and Durability
There may be cheaper options to enclose your property and, although these may appear more cost-effective and even offer similar benefits, none of them features the long-term advantages that precast walling boasts. Your initial investment may be larger, but maintenance and upkeep through the years are almost non-existent. Erecting a precast concrete wall around the boundary of your property, factory or manufacturing plant, forms a vital part of a fire risk management strategy.
- Pavement Appeal
No sanding, scouring, varnishing or painting is needed. Whether it surrounds your plot, property or home, MFB Walling has a viable solution for annual maintenance. Our precast walling comes in an array of designs and finishes, including face brick (chip brick) and concrete. Unless specifically preferred, you wouldn’t even need to paint your wall to match your corporate colours or to blend in with your home. Our precast walling instantly adds aesthetic appeal and value to your property.
- Eliminating Installation Headaches
Since it is precast and cured at our premises in Putfontein on the East Rand, we could install your boundary wall either before or after the construction of your home or building. No walling will allow free access for cement and building trucks during construction. However, if security is paramount, we could install it in no time, providing a secure environment to store building supplies and equipment.
- Friendly to the Environment
Erecting a precast wall or concrete palisade fence properly the first time doesn’t only save you cents, but it’s environmentally friendly too. The use of precast concrete is strictly controlled at MFB Walling, and it is a once-off procedure. Wood, bricks, steel and stone may need replacing several times for various reasons over the lifetime of one professionally installed, quality precast wall. The alternatives would lead to calling on additional raw materials, paints, varnishes and energy recourses.
