The two layers of concrete often referred to as concrete wythes are connected by one of many wythe connecting systems.
Insulated precast concrete wall panels.
Carboncast high performance insulated wall panels are composed of two concrete wythes separated by continuous insulation c i.
As with architectural panels insulated sandwich wall panels can be strictly architectural strictly structural or a combination.
Thin wall is a structural load bearing insulated precast building envelope system that features composite action between concrete wythes.
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.
This allows the structural performance to be based on the full thickness of the panel.
This combination is also completely fire resistant and sound transmission is reduced allowing intrusive noise to be kept at a minimum.
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.
These components come together in one simple to install system that can be erected in much less time than traditional building methods.
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.
