Why Choose Precast Concrete Walls?
There are many advantages of using a precast concrete wall panels over traditional construction methods:
?
To discover more about 'What is Precast Concrete?' visit our FAQs section.
High Quality Off-site Production
Manufactured offsite in controlled factory environment conditions from engineering grade concrete. Our precast concrete wall panels are manufactured in high grade 60 N/mm² concrete and to recognised industry standards i.e Eurocode 2, BS5502 Part 22. The finished surface quality of the R35 wall panels is exceptionally high.
Part 1 - Fast And Simple Installation Without Compromising On Quality
Installation is usually carried out using a telehandler or crane and the large size of the made to measure units promotes rapid installation. The panels are simply clipped to steel support columns to provide an ‘instant wall’. These precast wall panels are renowned for their exceptionally high quality finish.
Fire Rating
The precast R35 panels have a fire rating ranging from 1 hour for 125mm thick panels up to a full 4 hours for the thickest 250mm panels.
Durable
The smooth panel face and dense high-grade concrete provides a durable maintenance free wall and also eliminates concerns about damp ingress or pest infestations within the walls.
Part 2 - Fast And Simple Installation Without Compromising On Quality
The R35 wall panels are manufactured to the highest quality standards in factory-controlled conditions. The tilting table moulds enable thin section (125mm) units to be cast flat then tilted vertically for safe handling, storage and transport.
These are then delivered on A frames, off-loaded and installed on arrival on site without need for on-site storage or double handling. Thicker section units are delivered stacked flat on the lorry for off loading with a telehandler or crane.
While the larger units require mobile crane installation, units up to 4 tonnes weight are regularly installed with a telehandler further reducing the cost and time to complete the project.
Once installed all vertical joints can be sealed with the supplied one-part polyurethane mastic sealant sealant creating watertight panel joints.
