Description

CarbonCast® Enclosure Systems use advanced technology to improve precast concrete by integrating ultra-strong, noncorrosive C-GRID® into the wall panels during fabrication. By taking the place of steel reinforcement, C-GRID® provides a multitude of benefits that makes factory-made precast concrete an even more intelligent choice for commercial building envelopes. Depending on design, CarbonCast® panels are priced competitively with other curtainwall systems such as brick-veneer, masonry, stud walls or concrete. And after factoring in reductions to superstructure requirements and potential HVAC system and operating savings, CarbonCast® Enclosure Systems can provide a great ROI. Another benefit of this product for any owner is that CarbonCast® can achieve the aggressive building R-values needed to meet LEED requirements. Lightweight, non-corrosive C-GRID® is the “enabling technology” that allows CarbonCast® Enclosure Systems to be lighter, insulating, more durable and cost competitive. C-GRID® has many of the same strength-weight benefits as high-performance aerospace carbon fiber, but at a significantly lower cost. The carbon fibers used to make C-GRID® are over four times stronger in tensile strength than steel by weight. Each carbon fiber “tow” or strand is comprised of thousands of ultra-fine fibers that are bundled together. These tows are assembled perpendicular to each other into a grid using a continuous rotary-forming process that chemically binds them with a tough, heat-cured epoxy resin.
