Precast Insulated Concrete Sandwich Panel Wall System

Carboncast high performance insulated wall panels are composed of two concrete wythes separated by continuous insulation c i.

Precast insulated concrete sandwich panel wall system. Thin wall is a structural load bearing insulated precast building envelope system that features composite action between concrete wythes. The sandwich wall panel process provides a low cost thermally efficient and decorative alternative to traditional brick and mortar construction. Extruded polystyrene insulation is sandwiched between two concrete layers held together by specially designed thermomass connectors the at a glance page will give you a quick summary of thermomass. The insulated precast concrete panels constructed off site comprise an outer leaf of precast concrete an insulating layer and an inner leaf of plain grey concrete with a power floated finish.

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. The external skin is connected to and supported the internal skin using proprietary plastic ties. In this report precast prestressed concrete sandwich wall panels. This combination is also completely fire resistant and sound transmission is reduced allowing intrusive noise to be kept at a minimum.

We create insulated precast wall panels based on the architectural and structural specifications of a. Each concrete layer also known as a wythe can vary in thickness and can be connected with one of many different types of systems. Precast concrete manufacturing plant shipped to the project site and erected by cranes. The thermomass building insulation system complies with section j of the bca and is a fully integrated highly energy efficient insulated concrete sandwich wall system.

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. Solid sandwich and thin shell. Panels generally span vertically between foundations and floors or roofs to provide the permanent wall system but may also span horizontally between columns. Because of the wall panel s three layered structure it is sometimes referred to as a sandwich wall panel.

Precast concrete wall systems can be comprised of a variety of shapes and wall types. A composite sandwich panel built to comply with today s continuous insulation code requirements. An insulated sandwich wall panel consists of two wythes a continuous layer of concrete separated by an insulated void. 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.
