Insulated wall panels are a high-performance building envelope material that can help large-scale buildings achieve substantial energy and cost savings over a prolonged service life. Comprised of two concrete panels that enclose a layer of insulation, insulated wall panels resist mold, insects, and forklift damage. Their innovative design offers many thermal benefits.
Higher Thermal Mass
Concrete is a building material with an inherently high thermal mass, which means heat moves slowly through the material. In hot climates, insulated wall panels can help reduce energy costs by absorbing a large amount of heat without leading to a significant change in the interior temperature. Comfortable indoor temperatures can be achieved with smaller heating and cooling equipment, conserving energy and reducing operating costs.
Built-In Insulation
Insulated wall panels provide long-lasting thermal protection. With the insulation layer fully encased in concrete on both sides, it will not settle during or after construction, preventing the development of gaps or thin spots that would decrease the thermal performance of the building envelope.
Specified R-Value
County Prestress & Precast manufactures prestressed wall panels to meet specific R-values, the measure of a material’s capacity to resist heat flow. The R-value can be adjusted to meet the needs of a project based on the climate and weather of a location.
Prestressed building envelopes can last 60 years or longer. Use County Prestress & Precast's Insulated Wall Panels for your next project by contacting our Customer Service Team at (708) 562-7700.
