Insulated wall panels are a compelling solution for building envelopes because of their low life cycle cost. Their efficient installation, lasting performance, and low operating costs contribute to long-term savings.
Efficient Installation
Insulated wall panels are manufactured off-site in a controlled environment, which allows for year-round production and delivery. Panels can be produced while the construction site is being prepared, helping to shorten construction schedules. Additionally, using prestressed wall panels makes construction sites cleaner and more efficient since there’s no need to make room for curing or cutting the panels.
Installation usually requires smaller crews compared to other building envelopes, streamlining labor coordination. Notably, insulated wall panels can act as both exterior and interior walls, requiring no additional finishing work or insulation. For applications where aesthetic appeal is important, panels can be produced with custom patterns, eliminating the need for additional masonry work.
Lasting Performance
Insulated wall panels exhibit exceptional resistance to fire, wind, and forklift damage, ensuring a robust and enduring structure that can withstand challenging working conditions. The high-performance panels, manufactured with a low water-cement ratio, maintain both appearance and structural integrity over a long service life.
Low Operating Costs
Insulated wall panels include a layer of closed-cell insulation enclosed between two layers of concrete. The insulation gives the wall panels excellent long-term thermal and moisture resistance, which can lower the operating costs of buildings.
