Abstract:
Precast concrete sandwich panels offer numerous benefits, including insulation, durability, and fire resistance. Because they can be made using a high percentage of recycled materials and erected quickly with minimal site disturbance, they can also be major contributors toward construction of cost-efficient, sustainable structures. The result of Fabcon’s latest efforts is VersaCore+Green™, a sandwich panel introduced in March, 2007. The new panels have over 50% recycled content by volume and deliver the highest insulation values in the company’s 37 year history.
