Composite panels connect the two wythes of concrete without penetrating the insulation with a conductive material.
Insulated precast concrete wall panels.
These components come together in one simple to install system that can be erected in much less time than traditional building methods.
Every precast wall panel has a thick layer of energy efficient thermal insulation integrally sandwiched between a very durable concrete interior and a unique beautiful exterior finish.
Precast concrete insulated sandwich wall panels have gained popularity over the years but some industry professionals are still not familiar with them.
This combination is also completely fire resistant and sound transmission is reduced allowing intrusive noise to be kept at a minimum.
Reasons for their increased use in place of more traditional materials include.
The system enables a very energy efficient building with edge to edge eps or xps insulation without thermal bridges and uses less concrete than traditional structural wall panels.
This allows the structural performance to be based on the full thickness of the panel.
Insulated precast concrete wall panels can be created as a complete system that includes insulation and a moisture barrier as well as an exterior membrane and interior finish.
As with architectural panels insulated sandwich wall panels can be strictly architectural strictly structural or a combination.
A typical warehouse can be erected in a week.
The two layers of concrete often referred to as concrete wythes are connected by one of many wythe connecting systems.
Carboncast high performance insulated wall panels are composed of two concrete wythes separated by continuous insulation c i.
With very low thermal conductivity the high strength c grid connectors help deliver a sandwich wall panel with insulation values up to r 37 depending on the thickness and type of foam insulation.
