Precast concrete walls have been used for decades in commercial buildings. They offer a variety of advantages over traditional poured concrete walls. Precast concrete walls offer construction design flexibility and offer a shorter construction time than poured walls.
Many precast concrete walls (Also known as “ ผนังคอนกรีตสำเร็จรูป “ in the Thai language) are a core containing insulation. Insulation can be introduced through a hole in the wall after the wiring, plumbing and other needs are met, which would lead to savings for the owner and less harm to the planet.
A poured wall can only have a horizontal rod, but precast walls can have a vertical rod as well. While horizontal rods are good to stabilise the structure against shifting ground, vertical rods can also help stabilise the wall against the pressure from the side of the wall.
Most of the residential homes have a basement, with soil against the walls of the basement, which greatly increases the need for a vertical shaft to keep the wall strong that supports the precast wall with vertical rods
Many homeowners are also using precast concrete for their fencing needs. A concrete fence will not rot or warp like a wood fence will. Termites cannot affect concrete, and can not weather. Precast concrete fences require less work to install.
Walls can play a role in a variety of textures and finishes, creating a stunning fence for any area. In terms of specific features, both precast and poured concrete walls similar.
