Insulated Architectural Wall Panels

Insulated architectural wall panels create a visually interesting exterior while providing a durable, hard interior finish and can vary from a basic structural panel to a high-end architectural finish wall panel. While providing a thermal break, insulated architectural wall panels are energy efficient, and have high R-values. Gage Brothers uses a low thermal conductive carbon fiber tie system that improves efficiency in reducing thermal bridges that are present in other insulated systems.

Insulated architectural wall panels may be load bearing or non-load bearing. Non-load bearing insulated architectural wall panels are directly loaded on to the building structure, eliminating the need for additional backup structure and allowing quick installation for building enclosure. The shortened installation time creates project savings, as well as a clean job site.

Hollow Core Slabs

Hollow core slabs are a structural floor and roof system with a shallow depth that reduce weight while maintaining structural strength. Fire resistant hollow core slabs allow for better acoustical performance and have better deflection control than wood or steel systems. With faster installation than composite decking, hollow core slabs are also available in long clear spans and work with other building products and materials.

The smooth bottom eliminates the necessity of other ceiling products. The shortened installation time creates project savings, as well as a clean job site.

Double Tees

Double tees are durable structural components that are ideal for parking structure decks, food processing, industrial and manufacturing projects. Double tees are very resilient, even in overload condition, prestressing allows the product to have a memory and rebound to its preloaded shape. As a structural floor and roof system, double tees have a long span, and are both durable and fire resistant.

Precast enables designers to integrate structural and envelope (architectural) systems reducing the total materials, detailing, costs, construction complexity, and more. Sometimes, this is referred to as "Total Precast Systems," or TPS.

Beams

Beams are durable, fire resistant structural components that are ideal for food processing, industrial and manufacturing projects, fire separations, parking structures, and corrosive environments. Beams may support double tees, hollow-core slabs, and even other beams. 

Beams are typically considered structural components and are made in one of three key shapes: 

• Rectangular

• Inverted Tee Beams

• L-Beams

Column

Typically used to support beams and spandrels, columns are used in applications such as parking structures and precast concrete structural systems of all types.

Columns are durable, fire resistant structural components that are ideal for food processing, industrial and manufacturing projects, fire separations, parking structures, and corrosive environments.

Stadia

Stadia are permanent arena and stadium seating structures that are completed faster than cast-in-place products. Compared to traditional bleacher systems, stadia products allow for better acoustical performance and have a superior fire resistance. The shortened installation time creates project savings, as well as a clean job site. With the ability to work with multiple support materials and structures, stadia are a versatile product option.

Raker beams are angled, notched beams that support stadium riser units. They are used in outdoor stadiums and arenas and in many indoor arenas and performing-arts theaters.

ER-POST™

ER-POST™ is a patented precast truss system that utilizes precast prestressed concrete trusses that support two levels simultaneously creating an open floor plan and future flexibility of the space. The ER-POST™ truss system is fire resistant, which provides an economical solution for open span parking below the structure. While increasing usable square footage and creating low site disturbance during installation, the ER-POST™ truss system is ideal for apartments, dormitories, multifamily housing, hotels, and other mixed use buildings.

Bridge Girders

Precast bridge girders directly support the bridge deck and are more economical than steel girders. The durable, maintenance-free bridge product is prestressed to achieve favorable span-to-depth ratios.
