Insulated Precast Concrete Sandwich Panels

Energy savings with concrete sandwich panels.

Insulated precast concrete sandwich panels.

These panels may readily be attached to any type of structural frame includ ing structural steel reinforced concrete pre engineered metal and precast prestressed concrete. Oldcastle infrastructure wall panels are produced in a wide range of sizes to meet a variety. Carboncast high performance insulated wall panels are composed of two concrete wythes separated by continuous insulation c i. Insulated concrete sandwich panels are composed of two concrete wythes separated by a layer of foam insulation which can be used as both load bearing and insulating members they have a variety of benefits both during construction and throughout the life of the structure including reduced concrete thus reducing the weight of the slab which benefits both transportation.

Precast prestressed concrete sandwich wall panels are used as exterior and interior walls for many types of structures. Packed with equal parts performance and value it is an ideal precast panel solution when the additional thermal performance and cost of a sandwich panel is unnecessary. Insulated sandwich wall panels have been used by the tilt up industry for many years and are suitable for virtually any construction project including industrial office schools warehouses and residential buildings. They offer all the design flexibility of a standard precast concrete panel as.

The panels are fabricated at a. The inner and outer concrete wythes of the insulated wall are connected through the foam layer by low thermal conductivity pins that are cast into the insulated wall panel during production. Our lafarge precast concrete. Taracon precast s insulated precast concrete wall panels are wall panels designed with two layers of concrete that are separated by a layer of insulation.

Oldcastle infrastructure provides insulated precast concrete wall panels for use in many interior exterior and load bearing or non load bearing building applications that provides a professional finished look as well as increased thermal properties. Still highly capable thermally versacore green delivers r values ranging from a leed friendly r 13 6 in an 8 inch thick panel up to r 20 2 in a 12 inch thick panel. The difference between typical panels and insulated sandwich wall panels is that the latter are cast with rigid insulation sandwiched between two layers or wythes of concrete. Insulated walls sandwich a layer of rigid insulating foam board usually eps or xps closed cell foam within two wythes of precast concrete.

Because of the wall panel s three layered structure it is sometimes referred to as a sandwich wall panel.
