Panel Types
Precast concrete wall panels are utilized for building envelopes. They are generally available in two types: solid and insulated sandwiched panels. Wall panels can be architectural or structural by being designed to be load-bearing or non-load-bearing. Panels can be cast with openings for windows or other purposes and made with the finish of your choice.

Solid Panels
As the name implies, this type of wall panel is made of solid concrete. Solid panels require the addition of insulation and an interior wall system.

Insulated Panels
This style of panel has rigid insulation “sandwiched” between two layers of concrete. Insulation “R” values can be adjusted to meet your needs.

Basic Wall Panel Connections
Bolted connections – Perhaps the simplest and quickest option, using bolted connections allows for a positive connection immediately and can be adjusted at a later time.
Welded connections – Welded connections are the most common choice for precast panels. This approach involves placing a loose plate between structural steel plates and using welding to connect the panel to the structure.
