We believe your project deserves nothing but the best.
That is why Fritz-Alder Precast is your ideal partner for your next construction project.
As a leading provider of precast concrete solutions, we are distinguished by our cutting-edge technology and dedication to customer service. With a strong focus on innovation, we combine advanced technical knowledge and continuous improvement to create unique, value-engineered precast possibilities for your project.
One of our core products, used across many construction applications, are Precast Walls. Walls can be used in all types of projects, ranging from residential, commercial, civil, industrial, institutional to agricultural.
An integral element of any building project, precast walls have many advantages such as fewer men on site, reduced project hours, better insulation, durability, sound resistance, and more.
Precast walls, or precast wall panels, are structural components of a building that are made in a controlled environment and then transported to the construction site where they are installed by our expert team.
Precast concrete walls are created by pouring concrete into a mold or form. This form can contain various types of reinforcement, like rebar, wire mesh, or stressed strands to strengthen the final product. Once the concrete has been poured, it is allowed to cure in a controlled environment. This process creates very smooth, high-quality finished surfaces.
The advantages of using precast wall panels in construction projects are compelling. Their production in a controlled factory setting ensures consistent quality and precision, guaranteeing a superior product.
Fritz-Alder Precast Wall Panels significantly enhance construction efficiency by reducing the time spent on-site and accelerating the overall construction process, which translates into cost savings. Our precast panels also bolster safety measures. With a streamlined installation process requiring fewer workers on-site for less time, the risk of accidents and injuries is significantly reduced.
Our panels also offer unlimited customization potential. They can be adjusted by shape, size, colour, texture, and design to suit your project's aesthetic requirements. In terms of durability, precast concrete's inherent resistance to natural elements can minimize long-term maintenance and repair costs.
Finally, the fact that precast panels can be installed in all-weather conditions helps avoid construction delays, ensuring your project stays on schedule.
Precast walls are created in a factory-controlled setting using detailed molds. This allows for exceptional precision and uniformity in both dimension and finish. It ensures that each panel is produced to the exact specifications of the design. Fritz-Alder Precast Wall Panels are created using the latest technology in our state-of-the-art facility.
The casting of precast walls in a controlled factory environment allows for perfect curing and temperature control, which are crucial for strength and durability of concrete. This eliminates the risk of on-site weather-related inconsistencies and flaws that can occur with other methods.
R-value measures a material's resistance to heat flow, the higher the R-value, the better the insulation. Precast concrete walls can take many forms – architectural cladding, structural walls, industrial walls – and they can all be produced as insulated walls, customized to the R-values and energy efficiency you are looking to achieve.
Precast concrete is a non-combustible material, which means it won't catch fire, burn, or produce smoke. It exceeds fire safety ratings on its own, without additional treatments, and can contain fires from spreading, ensuring enhanced safety for occupants.
Precast concrete's mass makes it a very good sound barrier, providing superior noise reduction compared to other construction materials, and making it ideal for schools, hospitals, and multi-unit residential buildings.
Precast concrete is a robust, long-lasting material that can withstand weather elements, corrosion, and wear and tear over time. This translates into less maintenance and repair costs over the lifetime of a building.
Due to its high strength and density, precast concrete is highly resistant to impact, making it suitable for areas that require a high level of security or that are prone to severe weather events.
Precast concrete can be manufactured in any colour, texture, or shape, providing great versatility to match any architectural style or design requirement, in addition to its structural benefits including photo engraving, colours, textures and shapes, offering an aesthetic advantage in addition to its structural benefits.
Since precast panels are manufactured offsite and brought to the construction site ready for installation, it significantly reduces the labour needed on-site. This leads to reduced labour costs and a safer working environment.
The use of precast concrete can help to manage and reduce risk on the construction site. It eliminates the need for formwork and reduces the amount of equipment needed on-site, decreasing potential safety hazards.
Precast wall panels can be installed in nearly all-weather conditions. Our precast panels can prevent delays and help to keep your project construction schedules on track.
As the panels are produced offsite, construction timelines can be significantly reduced. Once the panels arrive at the site, they are quickly and efficiently erected, speeding up the overall construction process.
Since precast panels are fully fabricated off-site, the dependency on various trades such as carpentry for formwork, concrete mixing, and concrete pouring is significantly reduced. Using our panels makes project management and coordination much easier.
Precast concrete wall panels offer a wide range of finishes to suit different aesthetic and functional needs. Here are some of the most common types of finishes:
Stamped or Patterned Finish & ColoursWith thousands of mold patterns available, from brick to bamboo to abstract patterns, as well as custom-made designs, Precast Wall Panels can take the shape of any mold and can replicate brick, block, or signature aesthetics, such as photographs, monograms, or custom designs. Precast Wall Panels can also be coated with concrete stain to achieve the desired color and aesthetic to suit your project. The concrete can also be pigmented during production to achieve a through-and-through colour.
Acid-Etched
This finish is achieved by applying a mild acid solution to the concrete's surface after it has hardened. The acid reacts with the cement matrix and gently etches away the surface, creating a slightly textured, smooth appearance.
Sandblasted In this process, high-pressure air and sand are used to blast the surface of the concrete. This removes the surface cement paste and exposes the underlying aggregate. The degree of exposure can be controlled to achieve different effects.
Smooth or Off-formThis is the most basic finish where the texture of the formwork is reflected in the concrete, often resulting in a smooth surface.
Exposed AggregateThis involves removing the top layer of cement paste to reveal the underlying aggregate. The exposure level can be controlled to achieve different aesthetic effects, from lightly exposed where only the edges of the aggregate are visible, to heavily exposed where most of the aggregate is visible.
Polished or GroundThis involves grinding the surface of the hardened concrete to achieve a smooth, glossy finish. It can expose the underlying aggregate, like an exposed aggregate finish, but results in a smooth, polished surface.
Combination FinishesAs the name suggests, this involves a combination of two or more finishes to create a unique aesthetic effect.
