OPENING DOORS AND WINDOWS FOR GREATER PRECAST PERFORMANCE

The well-known rationale for precast concrete walls includes shortened construction schedules, thermal performance, and lifespan. But design flexibility? Architects who want imagination to determine design, and not material constraints, often look past precast concrete. This is no longer the case. A new manufacturing technology has replaced traditional processes which limited where door and window openings could be cast in hollow-core panels. The new VersaCore™ process allows Fabcon to cast-in openings that fit any architectural specification, providing design engineers and architects with a new range of building options.
