Insulated Concrete Sandwich Panel Wall System

Typical concrete tilt wall panels must be insulated after casting and installation.

Using Extruded Polystyrene insulation and connector ties, the panel is insulated during casting, prior to erection. Thus, the insulation is integral to the wall, which results in easier and faster construction.
