Exceeding expectations with high-performance precast concrete building panels
Sponsored by SlenderWall by Easi-Set Worldwide | By Andrew Hunt
This multi-media presentation will illustrate how architects involved in mid-rise and high-rise design and construction can benefit from understanding the many advantages of specifying lightweight precast concrete insulated panels. These non-load bearing panels are factory built under rigid standards and performance guidelines to ensure a consistent and durable product, and they are available in a wide range of color and finish options. Thermal performance, reduced waste on the jobsite, and exceptional durability all pay a key role in supporting the sustainable benefits of the product.
