Insulated Precast Concrete Wall

Product information

The insulated precast concrete walls are custom made for each project. There are two different types of insulated walls. Our sandwich wall has two layers of concrete with insulation in between. Depending on the customer’s needs the thickness and type of insulation can vary. The other type of insulated wall is the half sandwich wall. This type of wall has one layer of concrete on the inside of the insulation. The customer completes the outdoor side, after the concrete frame is finished.

If the customer wish, the walls can be completed with conduits for electrical wires, installed windows and painted in the factory. This, however, is not included in the EPD.

All products are manufactured indoors, which ensures a high and even quality throughout the year. Since each product is custom made new drawings are made before the production process starts. The products are optimized for each project. In this phase of the project, the customer has the opportunity to make choices that affects the entire lifecycle of the building, e.g. reference service life, product dimension, type of insolation etc.

Raw materials are purchased and transported to the factory. The raw material that has the biggest impact on the climate is the production of cement. During the production, in the cement factory, a process called calcination is taking place. During the calcination, CO2 is released from the limestone. The finished concrete, however, can retrieve some of this CO2 during its lifetime. Up to 1/5 of the CO2, which is released during the cement production, can be retrieved by the concrete. This is an important fact to consider when making a life cycle analyses for an entire building. It has not been considered in this EPD since it does not include the end of life perspective.
