ThinCast, the thinnest precast concrete rainscreen panel, is designed for use in commercial, institutional, retail, and low to high-rise construction. This innovation provides architects with the natural beauty and character of concrete in lightweight panels that accomplish their rainscreen design goals.
ThinCast panels are offered in six sizes and eight colors. Aggregates are sourced from local quarries to provide unique and attractive color variation both within panels and between panels. Designers may orient the panels horizontally or vertically and may cut the panels to fit. ThinCast is targeted not only for new construction, but also for renovations, retrofits and recladding of buildings east of the Mississippi River.
ThinCast panels are three-quarters of an inch thick and weigh approximately 10 pounds per square foot. The panels utilize a high-performance concrete mix and further increase strength and durability through the use of corrosion-resistant stainless steel prestressing wires. ThinCast meets applicable building codes and standards for rainscreen applications when properly installed on commercially available bracket systems.
