Every architectural design poses a challenge to its own architects. what's tougher is trying to find materials that will meet the architect's requirements and wishes for an ideal finish product. The materials should be top-of-the-line, without compromising the standard and efficiency of the merchandise. By continuous development, finally, around six years ago, a renowned company has invented precast concrete made our of carbon fiber reinforcement.

Known for its magnificent strength, this material was used for reinforcement and has since been utilized in various fascinating constructions and structures, thereby being the new architect's trusted companion. The reinforcing grid proved to be faithful to its promise - that it can display up to seven times more lastingness than steel reinforcement. what's more outstanding is that the CF reinforcement weighs lesser than steel for about one-half.

Because of the large success of the merchandise, not only the architectural industry benefited from it but a growing number of commercial and residential aggregations prefer to use this product also for his or her growing demands. This reinforcement is cost-effective in shipping thanks to its reduced weight. Thus, it helps saves tons not only in shipping but in erection costs and substructures. Its improved durability, corrosion resistance, and insulation properties are never compromised. In fact, since it's non-corrosive, the carbon fiber reinforcement are often placed slightly below the concrete.

The carbon reinforcement is consists of carbon fiber and polymer or any epoxy-based reinforcement products. The fibers have a tremendous strength since one strand alone is already consisted of around 90% carbon. These fibers are bonded together by crystal alignment parallel to the axis of the fibers. This alignment makes the fabric even stronger. This successively is bonded with epoxy, after which the products are applied to varied uses from countertops to precast concretes. The thickness of the merchandise depends largely on the specified application. as an example, a typical concrete countertop needs only about a one-inch grid. For applications that need more strength, the thickness can range up to 3 inches. this is often particularly seen in precast beams and other architectural panels. it's believed that the composite grid can reduce up to 66% of its weight when used for architectural panels.

One more great point about this product is that it's thermally non-conductive. In fact, it can preserve 100% of the insulation's R-value when wont to connect the outer and inner portions of wall panels through foam insulation core.

Truly, carbon fiber is the answer to each architects' dream of getting a trusted material for his or her use!
