Insulated Sandwich Walls Provide Endless Design Aesthetics

Dec 14, 2021

Insulated sandwich walls offer endless amount of design potential, allowing designers to achieve a high level of detail. Made of concrete, wall panels offer a variety of color, form, and texture options with unmatched durability. 

Sandblasting, acid etching, and exposed aggregate are finishing techniques that create different appearances. The aggregate exposure depth of these finishing techniques can also change the surface of an architectural panel. Using a custom molded formliner in the production of concrete panels is an effective and economical finishing technique and can produce a variety of design results. 

Thin brick, tile, and natural stone can be cast into the panel. Using thin brick as a facing on precast panels gives a traditional appearance of brick with the strength, efficiency, and economical benefits of precast, prestressed concrete.
