Sandwich facades
|
Concrete Surfaces |
Sandwich elements consist of two concrete leaves with an insulation layer in between. The external leaf is generally in architectural concrete. The internal leaf is in gray concrete and may be designed as load-bearing or self-bearing.
Load-bearing means that it is supporting the floors and the structure above. Self-bearing means that it is only supporting the self-weight of the facade.
The Consolis Group has developed a new facade panel with an air void between the outer cladding and the insulation, enabling the evaporation of any seeping water or condensation that has penetrated.
