Wall Panels
Precast solid walls are highly efficient and versatile elements made from gray reinforced concrete without an insulation layer. Here’s a breakdown of their features:
- Manufacturing Process
- Material Options: Can be produced using standard or lightweight concrete.
- Dimensions: Up to 200 mm thick, 8 meters long, and 3.6 meters high.
- Production Method
- Manufacturing: Precast walls are created on a table or in a battery mold, resulting in smooth surfaces either on one side or all around.
- Incorporations: Door and window openings, technical ducts, and inserts for electricity are added before casting.
- Surface Treatments: Various techniques such as adding colors, grooving, and graphics can be applied. The walls can also be painted or wallpapered after a thin plastering.
- Applications
- Buildings: Frequently used as facade and boundary walls in residential, commercial, industrial, and hotel buildings.
- Other Uses: Suitable for shear and retaining walls, partition walls, stairwells, and lift shafts.
- Functional Versatility
- Load-bearing: Can be used as load-bearing or non-load-bearing walls, such as structural panels or cladding panels. Often paired with hollow-core floors for enhanced strength.
- Advantages
- Load-bearing Capacity: High load-bearing strength.
- Soundproofing: Excellent sound insulation properties.
- Fire Resistance: Up to 180 minutes (Eurocode 2).
- Surface Finishing: Versatile surface finishing options when used as cladding panels.
Precast solid walls provide an economical and adaptable solution for various construction
