Leesburg Concrete Announces the SlenderWall® Building System Receives the Miami-Dade Certification


Leesburg, FL, May 9, 2011 -- Leesburg Concrete is pleased to announce that the SlenderWall® Architectural Precast Concrete/ Steel Stud Cladding System, which is manufactured at Leesburg Concrete's 18,000 square foot state of the art facility in Leesburg, FL, is now certified by Miami-Dade County, FL.

SlenderWall® complies with the High Velocity Hurricane Zone of the Florida Building Code and is rated to be Impact resistant to Large and Small Missiles. SlenderWall® is ideal for many types of coastal and non-coastal building applications.

SlenderWall® is a lightweight, architectural precast concrete/steel-stud hybrid curtainwall system that is used for new construction, re-cladding, and renovation of large, multi-story commercial buildings. At 30 lbs. per square foot SlenderWall weighs a third of traditional precast while offering the beauty of architectural concrete. The lighter weight can lead to substantial savings in the costs of the foundation and super structure and the system can be shipped long distances and remain competitive. Because of these benefits Leesburg Concrete is currently in negotiations to ship the product for installation on three buildings in Aruba.

SlenderWall® meets many criteria for green building strategies and can potentially contribute up to 28 LEED credits based on optimized energy performance, use of recycled content, construction waste management, durability, and life cycle CO2 reduction.

Leesburg Concrete is interested in meeting the needs of commercial building construction and renovation projects. Our representatives are available to meet with you to discuss all project requirements.
