Concrete sandwich panel construction.

Concrete sandwich panels this is the most popular insulation method since sandwich panels can serve both a structural and thermal function. The process begins with exterior wythe pour and the placement of the insulation and connectors which happens simultaneously. Sandwich panels consist of two thin shells of high strength concrete bonded to a core of rigid low density insulation. Optionally ties may be pushed through insulation board before placing it on the concrete while it is stacked on top of the other insulation boards.

Composite global solutions cgs is the australian supplier of the thermomass building insulation system for precast or tilt up concrete sandwich panels. The thermomass building insulation system complies with section j of the bca and is a fully integrated highly energy efficient insulated concrete sandwich wall system. The performance of the tilt up sandwich panel both structurally and thermally depends on the capacity of the connector and the detailing of the insulation. The two outer shells can be cast solid around their external edges so that the core is completely enclosed.

As the name suggests a sandwich panel insulation system consists of two wall panels the interior surface and exterior façade separated by a layer of ridged insulation. The insulation may also be extended to the panel edge if desired. The exterior wythe will act as a barrier from the elements and protect the insulation from any damage. Concrete sandwich panels are built from the exterior of the wall to the interior of the wall.
