Insulated Precast Concrete Wall Panels
As with architectural panels insulated sandwich wall panels can be strictly architectural strictly structural or a combination.
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. Composite panels connect the two wythes of concrete without penetrating the insulation with a conductive material. Carboncast high performance insulated wall panels are composed of two concrete wythes separated by continuous insulation c i.
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. 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 combination is also completely fire resistant and sound transmission is reduced allowing intrusive noise to be kept at a minimum. The two layers of concrete often referred to as concrete wythes are connected by one of many wythe connecting systems.
This allows the structural performance to be based on the full thickness of the panel.
