Concrete Wall Section With Insulation

With over 35 years of experience we are the undisputed leader in concrete sandwich wall technology and can help you create building envelopes that maximize energy efficiency durability and performance.

Concrete wall section with insulation.

Concrete wall section detail. Examples include insulation placed in concrete masonry cores and continuous insulation in a masonry cavity wall note that an insulated masonry cavity wall can also be considered as exterior insulation if the thermal mass effect of the veneer is disregarded. Xi plus wall based upon the proven design of the xi wall system the xi plus superior walls system brings many exciting additional features for selective builders and homeowners. We manufacture and distribute a full line of concrete insulation systems for use in plant precast site cast tilt up and cast in place projects.

Concrete stem walls that are not monolithic with slabs on ground or are not otherwise laterally supported by slabs on ground and retain 48 inches 1219 mm or less of unbalanced fill measured from the top of. Figures 4 12 through 4 14 show variations where the slab is the primary location for insulation. The photo above is a sample that shows the cross section of what an actual finished. Concrete walls can be insulated on the interior or exterior face or by embedding the material within the wall.

Typical frame wall section over continuous rigid insulation. This insulated concrete wall system incorporates expanded polystyrene eps foam board insulation for thermal energy efficiency reinforcing steel for strength new patent pending wall ties and high strength shotcrete to provide strength safety and durability. Integral insulation refers to insulation placed between two layers of thermal mass. Because it isolates the concrete s thermal mass from the inside space however it is the least desirable from the standpoint of.

When provided with reinforced polyisocyanurate insulation covering 4 1 2 of rigid foam insulation the xi plus has an insulation value of r 21 3. Interior installation using the rigid board batt or spray on methods is the least expensive method. Stem walls not laterally supported at top. Figures 2 11 through 2 13 show configurations with insulation on the exterior surface of basement walls.

Concrete stairs exposed concrete precast concrete concrete structure reinforced concrete concrete architecture architecture details architecture models architecture drawings. Concrete foundation stem walls that support light frame above grade walls shall be designed and constructed in accordance with this section. Figures 2 14 and 2 15 show interior insulation options. Figures 4 9 through 4 11 and 4 15 show configurations with insulation on the exterior surface of the foundation.

In this section several typical basement wall sections are illustrated and described.
