Insulated Architectural Concrete Wall

Precast wall systems can be used with both steel and cast in place structural systems.

Insulated architectural concrete wall.

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. We create insulated precast wall panels based on the architectural and structural specifications. Integral insulation refers to insulation placed between two layers of thermal mass. The difference between a standard wall panel and insulated wall panel is that the latter is cast with rigid insulation between two layers or wythes of concrete.

Concrete insulated wall panels provide non composite performance and are non structural without a thickened interior wythe to resist gravity loads. The insulation thickness can vary to create the desired thermal insulating property r value for the wall. Examples include insulation placed in concrete masonry cores and continuous insulation in a masonry cavity wall note that an insulated masonry cavity wall can also be considered as exterior insulation if the thermal mass effect of the veneer is disregarded.

Insulation is full width and height. For applications that require thinner insulated walls with the same thermal and moisture performance insulated wall panels that transfer shear forces between concrete wythes are available. Each concrete layer also known as a wythe can vary in thickness and can be connected with one of many different types of systems. Because of the wall panel s three layered structure it is sometimes referred to as a sandwich wall panel.

This allows the structural performance to be based on the full thickness of the panel. As with architectural panels insulated sandwich wall panels can be strictly architectural strictly structural or a combination.
