Why Do We Love Precast? Let Us Count the Ways.

345 North Morgan in Chicago, Ill. is a 200,000-square-foot ground-up office building in Chicago’s West Loop.

The calendar has flipped to the month of love. With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, we’ve been thinking a lot about love. Our love of precast concrete that is. And we want you to love precast concrete as much as we do.

When determining which cladding option is right for your project, consider the advantages of designing with architectural precast panels. Precast wall panels grant you the ability to have:

  1. Virtually endless finish and design options
    At ICP, we offer a variety of high-end architectural finishes, custom form liners, Graphic Concrete, brick, and more. Check out some of our finishes here. Plus, we are PCI AA certified, which represents the most highly complex certification level. This certification is for producers of highly complex shapes and has the tightest tolerances ever required.

  2. Strength and durability
    Precast concrete provides excellent protection against high winds, storm surges and flying debris.

  3. Minimal long-term maintenance
    Minimal maintenance provides substantial long term cost savings. Precast is a long-lasting, high performance material that will last decades.

  4. Superior quality control with strict guidelines
    Precast panels are produced in our PCI-Certified plant under strict quality controls ensuring a uniformly high-quality facade.

  5. Fast-track installation on site, plus year-round production and installation
    Precast concrete’s speed of erection and ability to be produced and erected year-round shortens project schedules.

  6. LEED certification capabilities
    Precast concrete contributes to LEED certification in a variety of ways. It minimally disrupts the site (area and time); increases open area when multi-level parking structures are used; reduces the heat-island effect because of concrete’s light color; improves energy efficiency and thermal comfort; reuses and recycles formwork, keeping materials out of the landfill; and more.

There you have it - six concrete reasons to love precast. Interested in learning more about how precast concrete walls and cladding can benefit your next project? Contact our team at info@internationalconcrete.com.
