Thermal Break / Air Barrier Precast Concrete System

The only 100% thermal-break/air barrier precast system. Securing the 2-inch concrete facing to the steel frame are a series of proprietary ThermaGuard connectors, which are insulated, epoxy-coated stainless-steel Nelson anchors. These connectors not only securely anchor the concrete facing to the steel frame, but also provide the means to allow the concrete to respond independently to thermal gradients with a 1/2-inch air space between the precast concrete and the stud frame. This reduces thermal transfer from the exterior to the interior of the building by as much as 25%.

Benefit: reduced heating and cooling costs
