The Stresscrete Wall Panel
System is primarily designed to
be used as an exterior wall
cladding for industrial buildings
where long term maintenance
and speed of construction is
important.
The Stresscrete Wall Panel
System consists of precast
concrete panels manufactured
in our factory.
These have a natural finish
which is dense and water
resistant. A finish compatible
with paints suitable for
concrete surfaces can be
provided if requested at time of
order. Other surface textures,
such as an exposed aggregate
finish can be manufactured.
Standard edge details are
suitable for the application of
proprietary sealants.
TRANSPORT
Wall panels are transported to
the building site on their edge
on “A” frames, or may be
transported flat if the design
allows.
