Insulated Precast Concrete Wall Panels

Composite panels connect the two wythes of concrete without penetrating the insulation with a conductive material.

Insulated precast concrete wall panels.

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. Precast concrete insulated sandwich wall panels have gained popularity over the years but some industry professionals are still not familiar with them. Carboncast high performance insulated wall panels are composed of two concrete wythes separated by continuous insulation c i. A typical warehouse can be erected in a week.

An insulated precast concrete wall panel or sandwich wall panel as it is sometimes called is a precast concrete wall panel with two layers of concrete separated by a layer of rigid insulation see figure 1. Reasons for their increased use in place of more traditional materials include. The two layers of concrete often referred to as concrete wythes are connected by one of many wythe connecting systems. As with architectural panels insulated sandwich wall panels can be strictly architectural strictly structural or a combination.

These components come together in one simple to install system that can be erected in much less time than traditional building methods. This allows the structural performance to be based on the full thickness of the panel. Thin wall is a structural load bearing insulated precast building envelope system that features composite action between concrete wythes. Cold weather is not a factor since the panels.

This combination is also completely fire resistant and sound transmission is reduced allowing intrusive noise to be kept at a minimum.
