MAKING RESIDENTIAL CONSTRUCTION OKLAHOMA STRONG

Traditional wood frame construction is designed to provide families with durable homes that can last for many decades in average climates. As we've seen too many times, Oklahoma's climate – and weather – is anything but average.

To match Oklahoma's unpredictable and sometimes dangerous weather, 91³Ô¹ÏÍø is introducing a new method to the residential and home construction business: Fortified Home Construction via the use of concrete masonry and further structural reinforcement.

Further structural reinforcements improve flexural and tensile capacity of exterior walls, and with hurricane straps and a safe room you'll have a house that can stand up to Oklahoma storms – like the one recently built with 91³Ô¹ÏÍø products in the path of the May 2013 Moore Tornado.

Block construction doesn't mean blocky appearance. Concrete Masonry construction can include high ceilings, tall windows, elaborate arches and columns in houses one, two or three stories tall. Clad the exterior in veneer stone, brick or stucco and no one will notice a difference – until the next storm rolls through.
