From large commercial properties, to Home owners Association, communities, and residential project in Central Florida, precast concrete wall panels have advantages over the competition.
Whether it is for a community wall, fence, Hardscape or retaining wall, precast concrete many advantages.
Little to no maintenance
Maintenance on any material outside is typically time consuming and expensive. But not precast concrete, it requires little to no maintenance over its life expectancy. Which in itself can save a significant amount of money.
Energy efficiency
Because precast wall panels have a high warm mass, it causes them to store and retain temperatures at a steady rate. Lessening the heat transfer into a structure.
Fire resistant
According to the Precast Concrete Institution:
Precast concrete provides inherent fire protection and resiliency.
Concrete does not combust and therefore helps contain fires in a controlled space, sometimes referred to as compartation.
Precast concrete provides passive fire protection, which means it does not rely on another system or someone to take action.
The elements must have enough mass to limit the rise in temperature on the side opposite of a fire. The measure is known as the heat transmission endpoint. The elements must have sufficient strength to prevent collapse in the elevated temperatures of a fire. This measure is known as structural endpoint.
Hurricane Resistant
Precast concrete wall panels are inherently resilient and provides protection against flying debris, hight winds, storm surge, and other high performance attributes
Quick and easy installation
Since precast concrete is made in an environmentally controlled environment, when they get delivered to your location they are ready to be installed. It just takes a small team instead of the traditional on-site methods that can take weeks, if not months, to complete and requires large equipment.
Suitability
Precast concrete comes in a variety of designs and colors to compliment your existing environment. Durable under the most intense weather conditions, resistant to combustion, fire, insects, termites, mold, decay and rotting. They are also 100 percent recyclable and environmentally friendly, they don’t release any harmful toxins or chemicals.
The latest innovative technology combines unrivaled durability and strength with a variety of beautiful authentic designs and colors to provide sound barrier walls, security fences, border fences, and economic retaining walls. Florida Wall Concepts make these walls and fences effective and affordable applications.
