Morton Buildings’ innovative concrete splashboard, DuraPlank is now being expanded nationally, helping to make farm buildings stronger and longer lasting.
President Sean Cain of the the Morton, Illinois-based company said the patented DuraPlank concrete splashboard is the first of its kind in the post-frame building industry. It is offered as an optional upgrade for new buildings that utilize the Morton Foundation System, which consists of lower concrete columns that eliminate wood in the ground, avoiding natural decay and protecting against potential costly repairs.
The splashboard is connected to the top of the columns, extending around the bottom of the building perimeter and providing zero ground-to-wood contact. DuraPlank not only helps prevent decay but also provides even more durability against extreme winds, as well as accidental machinery run-ins.
