Architects/Builders
At Timbercrete, Inc. we are veterans of the concrete and building supply industry. We have over 35 years precast experience and our sales company is in its 100th year. We know design, we know production, we know construction.
And we know we have the finest product of its kind on the market today: Timbercrete.
Architects, builders, developers and contractors will find numerous applications for Timbercrete, a steel- and fiber-reinforced concrete fencing material with a deep natural wood grain texture. As a replacement for a traditional wood fence, it offers the attractiveness of wood with the strength and longevity of concrete. And our Ranch Rail is the perfect solution for those seeking the simple beauty of a ranch-style rail fence, while requiring the longevity and lower TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) of Timbercrete products.
Both Timbercrete and Ranch Rail sport deep woodgrain textures on both sides, and are manufactured in two standard colors, tan and natural. Of course, we can make Timbercrete in a variety of custom colors. And since color is added during the manufacturing process, there is no need for painting or staining – ever. However, you can safely paint or stain Timbercrete if you so desire, and the color will last many years longer than on a wood fence.
Timbercrete and Ranch Rail are easy to work with, less expensive than block, engineered to conform to I.B.C. standards. They will not warp, rot or splinter, eliminating the need for periodic maintenance. As a bonus, Timbercrete panels can be used as planters, 2 feet high .or less, offering even more flexibility in design and implementation. And with 100% of our products manufactured locally, we are proud to say that Timbercrete and Ranch Rail are “American Owned, American Made.”
HOA/Management
A Home Owners’ Association (HOA) is charged with maintaining the common areas and grounds of condominium and co-op developments, as well as various types of private, gated and retirement communities. And HOAs have a fine line to tread, since the memberships want two seemingly contradictory things: a beautiful place to live, with no maintenance costs.
Of course, this is not possible. But it is possible to lower, quite dramatically, both maintenance costs and TCO by replacing wood fences with Timbercrete products. Timbercrete and Ranch Rail require no mortar for installation, and the panels can even be used as planters (2 feet high or less). Installation can be accomplished quite straightforwardly by homeowner(s), HOA maintenance staff or a licensed independent contractor.
Timbercrete costs less than block, is stronger and longer lasting than either wood or vinyl fencing, and is engineered to conform to I.B.C. standards. And in wildfire-plagued California, how comforting it is to know that Timbercrete products are completely fireproof, and will stand as a powerful first line of defense if your property is threatened.
Finally, Timbercrete offers HOAs simple and solid insurance against graffiti damage by being compatible with different treatments that prevent paint from adhering to its surface. With the optional anti-graffiti coating, paint is easily removed, leaving your Timbercrete fence completely undamaged.
Homeowners
American homeowners are a proud and diverse bunch, with a wide range of tastes and preferences as far as their houses are concerned. There are a few fundamental things, however, that most homeowners share – pride of ownership, for one, and the desire to be good stewards who take care of their property.
Part of good stewardship, of course, is maintaining that property. Timbercrete products have freed homeowners from the burden of replacing fences every few years, as the walls and fencing improve the property now and require minimal upkeep in the future. When calculating the cost of wood, paint, repair time and replacement effort that goes into maintaining standard fences, it becomes clear rather quickly that Timbercrete has the advantage, both structurally and economically.
Some states, like California, experience wildfires on a regular basis, but homeowners everywhere have to address the risk of fire damage. Being absolutely fireproof, Timbercrete products provide a substantial first line of defense against spreading fires. Peace of mind, therefore, is a valuable fringe benefit of a Timbercrete installation.
