Steel connectors and concrete penetrations significantly degrade the insulating performance of the insulated wall panel. Typical GFRP or thermoplastic “pin-type” connectors do NOT offer the advantages of structural composite action between the interior and exterior wythes of concrete.
Aslan™ 700 Nu-Tie Shear Connectors are a key component of the THiN-Wall™, composite action insulated concrete wall panel system. (Patent Pending) www.THiN-Wall.com
Using the Aslan 700 Shear Connector, it is possible to achieve a fully composite action, insulated concrete sandwich wall panel with edge-to-edge insulation and no thermal penetrations.
Typical precast concrete sandwich wall panels are composed of two concrete wythes with insulation placed in the center. The concrete wythes are generally connected through the insulation using steel, concrete or thermoplastic or glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) connectors.
Composte Action Insulated Wall Panels
• Interior and Exterior Wythes Act Together Structurally
- Eliminates Need for a Thick Structural Concrete Wythe
• Wall Panels that are Structurally AND Energy Efficient
• Wall Panels are Thinner AND Stronger
• Structurally Equal with ANY Insulation Type (XPSor EPS)
