New insulated cladding lowers project costs and carbon footprint

In 2003 members of AltusGroup®, Inc., a partnership of precast firms, transformed concrete enclosure systems by introducing CarbonCast High Performance Insulated Wall Panels. The new walls offered thin and lightweight insulated sandwich walls at low costs, making thermally efficient precast more affordable for low-rise vertical panel applications. Now, AltusGroup has taken this success to the next level with their latest product, CarbonCast Insulated Architectural Cladding – a precast sandwich spandrel panel for low, mid- and high-rise buildings. This new option means designers can have the beauty, durability and watertightness of precast cladding with thermal efficiency and lighter weight that can deliver shipping and erection savings and potentially superstructure and foundation cost reductions.
