CarbonCast

Products

• CarbonCast High Performance Insulated Wall Panels are composed of two concrete wythes separated by continuous insulation and connected by C-GRID carbon fibre shear trusses
• CarbonCast Insulated Architectural Cladding feature inner and outer wythes 1-3⁄4″thick or more for a total concrete thickness of 3-1⁄2″. The wythes sandwich a layer of insulation of usually 2″ or more depending on R-value requirements
• CarbonCast Double Tees replace conventional steel mesh reinforcing in the flange with C-GRID carbon fibre grid

  Properties

• Lower weight - When carbon fibre grid replaces steel mesh in the face of concrete products, manufacturers can use less concrete cover to protect the mesh from corrosive elements. Non-corrosive carbon fibre eliminates the need for extra concrete.
• Improved thermal performance - The relatively low thermal conductivity of carbon fibre permits CarbonCast components to provide higher R-values than conventional precast concrete.
• Improved strength - Carbon fibre is four times stronger than steel by weight providing better surface crack control when used as secondary reinforcing and 100% composite action when used as a truss in insulated wall panels.
• Comparable cost - Many applications receive savings in foundation and superstructure, energy costs and maintenance.
