Description
The educational session will focus on Energy-efficiency and lighter-weight thin walls using less concrete and more insulation to reduce energy use, lighten panels and deliver superior thermal performance.
Thin precast panels have no organic components, voids or cavities where air or water can combine to support mould and mildew growth.
Aesthetically versatile, clients can select from hundreds of aggregates, textures, surface treatments, formliners and embedded finishes like thin brick, medallions and tiles to meet nearly any design.
