Rain screen systems can be complex to design and complicated to install, while a properly designed and installed precast wall system provides a virtually impenetrable exterior moisture barrier. This five-page PDF explains rain barrier/rain screen philosophies and showcases CarbonCast’s ability to limit the chance for moisture infiltration. Several diagrams illustrate the two approaches.

Designing and building for the military can be challenging and demanding. In an effort to safeguard the public’s money, government-funded projects are typically accompanied by extensive regulations, rigorous processes and exhaustive bidding processes. This paper examines the suitability of CarbonCast products to meet stringent military demands.

Precast is a favored building material for educational facilities because of its long-term durability and construction speed. In addition, CarbonCast Enclosure Systems provide continuous insulation to meet ASHRAE codes and enable a reduction in energy costs. This brief also discusses aesthetic options and acoustic benefits of CarbonCast products.

Thermally efficient, lightweight, durable. CarbonCast Insulated Architectural Cladding is architecturally finished load bearing or non-load bearing insulated precast concrete wall panels, reinforced with prestressing strands, mild steel reinforcement, and welded wire steel mesh or epoxy-coated carbon fiber open strand mesh.Specifications include manufacture, transportation, handling, erection, and other related items such as anchorage, bearing pads, storage and protection of the units.

Setting a new standard for sandwich wall panels CarbonCast® High Performance Insulated Wall Panels are patented, structural precast concrete insulated wall panels with prestressing strands and/or mild steel reinforcement, C-GRID® carbon fiber shear grid and welded wire steel mesh or C-GRID epoxy-coated carbon fiber open strand mesh. The panels can act as either load bearing or non-load bearing building elements including shear walls. This specification details their manufacture, transportation, handling, erection and other related items such as anchorage, bearing pads, storage and protection of the units.

This bulletin explains the unique properties of CarbonCast High Performance Insulated Wall Panels, including their C-GRID® carbon fiber grid connector systems, continuous insulation properties, composite performance, and more.
