Insulated Wall Panels Blend Strength and Efficiency With Customizable Aesthetics

Written by Admin | Nov 11, 2024

Insulated wall panels are a versatile building material because they allow designers to optimize for strength and energy efficiency while also offering a wide variety of aesthetic options. Made from two layers of prestressed concrete surrounding a layer of insulation, insulated wall panels are often chosen for large-scale buildings because they offer substantial savings on operating costs throughout the life of the building.

Add Color With Paint and Stain Options

Adding color to the facade of a large-scale building can help it make a lasting impression on visitors by representing the brand identity. Insulated wall panels can be manufactured with pigmentation in the concrete mix to add an integral color to one or both of the wall wythes. This method provides a long-lasting finished product with low maintenance requirements. Alternatively, contractors can add color to both the inside and outside faces of insulated wall panels after installation with a variety of paint and stain options that can be changed to meet the needs of new building occupants. 

Add Visual Interest With Formliners

County Prestress & Precast can manufacture insulated wall panels with custom formliners to create textures that emulate brick, tile, and natural stone. Using thin brick as a facing on insulated wall panels gives a traditional appearance of masonry construction with the strength, efficiency, and economical benefits of prestressed concrete. Finishing techniques such as acid etching, sandblasting, and exposed aggregate can also add character and visual interest to wall panels.

County Prestress & Precast manufactures prestressed insulated wall panels up to 15’ wide and 65’ long.
