Why use the am-cor system as opposed to metal buildings?
Metal building systems are sheathed in metal or exterior drywall, which are limited in durability and appearance. The am-cor ferrocement skin bonds to the light gauge steel frame to create a unified structure, which is durable and attractive. Exteriors of metal buildings are corrugated steel, which have limited use because of appearance. am-cor buildings have beautiful cement exteriors which can be textured, tinted, and ornamented to the designer’s specification. Additionally, a factory-controlled setting allows for high quality panel fabrication, reducing on-site framing time. am-cor panels are embedded into concrete footings and concrete floor slabs to create structures resistant to hurricanes, tornadoes, floods and earthquakes. The amcorite reinforced cement skin adheres to the steel frame to make the building shell a single extremely strong monocoque structure. Cement paint or water resistant white cement finish coats are applied to exposed surfaces and can be tinted, textured, and
