Insulated wall panels are a structural, load bearing, insulated building envelope system that offers many benefits for large scale commercial and industrial projects.
High performance building envelope
High performance buildings incorporate the maximum level of design, construction, operation and maintenance principles to offer owners a greater return on investment than a conventional building. With low maintenance costs, high thermal values, and unmatched strength and durability, prestressed wall panels can help buildings achieve these goals. Insulated wall panels are produced with two layers of concrete surrounding a layer of insulation and can function as load-bearing walls or cladding panels attached to a structural frame.
Resistant to fire, wind and forklift damage
Prestressed concrete is a noncombustible material. Once installed, ISWs require no additional fireproofing, drywalling, or insulating to achieve 3-hour fire ratings. Prestressed concrete panels also provide additional protection from strong winds, natural disasters, and construction or forklift damage. Structures built with insulated wall panels are often chosen for storm shelters because of their unmatched strength and resistance to inclement weather.
Short lead times and efficient installation
The unmatched efficiency of ISWs can shorten construction timelines. County Prestress & Precast's PCI-certified production facilities are equipped to produce higher volumes of product with shorter lead times. Prestressed fabrication allows the panels to be manufactured in any weather, instead of waiting for optimal conditions to cast panels on the job site. Production often occurs while construction sites are being prepared. Once the site is ready, the panels can be installed in less time with smaller crews than cast-in-place options and no time lost waiting for concrete to cure.
County Prestress & Precast manufactures prestressed wall panels up to 15’ wide and 65’ long with greater depths available for enhanced R-value.
