VARIETY OF SIZES: Thermal-Krete® panels are available in standard 9’ heights for basements. Lengths vary up to 16’. Custom sizes are available by special request. SINGLE-PIECE CORNER SYSTEM: Corner sections are monolithically cast for exceptional strength. Thermal- Krete® ’s one-piece corner system is designed for easier installation of wallboard and paneling through corner nailing studs. REINFORCED BOND BEAM: Evenly distributes weight over entire panel. FLEXIBLE BY DESIGN: Panels are available with door and window openings, as well as brick ledges and suspension beam pockets. ADDITIONAL INSULATION: Accepts up to 8.5” inches of insulation for an R-30 value (by owner). The site is prepared slightly larger than the overall footprint of the finished building. A gravel bed 6” or deeper is spread and two 4” perforated drainage pipes are installed for water removal. The site is carefully leveled and compacted to within one inch for installation of the wall system. The precast units are delivered to the job site and lifted in position using a crane. Your new basement will resist the elements A polyurethane adhesive is applied to the connecting faces, and the panels are bolted together using steel hardware. A final protective air gap waterstop wrap is installed to eliminate hydrostatic pressure and effectively control water drainage. Precast foundations have been used successfully for over two decades, and Thermal-Krete® incorporates the most significant advances in pre-engineered foundation technology with the introduction of a monolithic panel design where the entire panel is cast as a single unit. Thermal-Krete® systems are superior to block or poured walls because they are stronger and drier with better thermal efficiency. BY PERMATILE PRECAST FOUNDATION / COMMERCIAL PANELS / SPECIAL DESIGN
