Solid Wall Comparison
Precast Walls |
Conventional Walls |
Time – Shorter construction time | Comparatively longer construction Time |
High quality finish as it is manufactured in controlled environment. | Additional Procedure needed to get a finished product |
Precast Concrete walls requires little or no maintenance. | Other products such as brick, may require repair after severe weather or impact. |
Less thickness, Maximum carpet area. | More thickness, minimal Carpet area. |
Advantages
- Time– Shorter construction period and low maintenance cost.
- Environmental Soundness–Since precast wall panels are manufactured in a production facility, the impact that these panels impose onsite is minimal. This helps reduce the space needed on a job site
- Aesthetically Pleasing–Precast wall panels can be customized to the architect’s or owner’s desire.
- Swiftness of Construction– these systems can be installed in a quick process without involving multiple trades. By eliminating the use of other trades, a wall panel system can decrease the overall cost of the project.
- Fire resistant
- Economical- Precast concrete wall panels offer lower long-term costs when compared with other materials. Ease of installation, reduction in overall project timeline & total flexibility in design make precast the economical solution.
- Low Maintenance- Precast concrete requires little or no maintenance, which makes it the ideal choice for nearly any design solution.
- Modularity –Because of the modular nature of precast concrete products, buildings of nearly any size can be accommodated.
- Energy Efficiency–Precast walls are energy efficient due to a high thermal mass that enables materials to absorb and store temperatures at a more constant rate. With this system, it reduces the fluctuation of temperatures within the building.
- Cast on table/ pallet
- Having both side smooth finish no plaster is required
- It produced in various thickness from 75mm to 300 mm
- Easy for stripping, handling, transportation and installation
- MEP services can be embedded
- Used for all types of structures residential, commercial and industrial.
- Can be treated as shear wall
