In one of our Whitepapers, we discuss how strength and beauty can both be attained with our precast concrete panel.
According the the American Concrete Institute, the recommended standard for concrete strength is 5,000 psi for walls. At Fabcon, our wall panels have strengths of 8,000 to 11,000 psi, exceeding the standard.
Precast concrete is an exceptionally strong and long-lasting building material in comparison to other materials, such as masonry which is susceptible for cracking.
In the past, building owners would often compromise the durability of their wall panels in favor of a more beautiful exterior look. Thankfully, this kind of compromise is no longer necessary. According to our whitepaper:
To solve the dilemma, Fabcon developed a new technology that helps retain its shipping cost advantage and provides the ability to cast-in openings and accommodate structural design requests like pocketed connections. The outcome significantly increases what architects, engineers and building owners can expect when it comes to design flexibility.
