Single Layer Panels
Single layer panels consist of a single layer of reinforced concrete that is reinforced to the required structural capacity. They are commonly used as external walls for single-story low-rise industrial or commercial buildings. They can be either loadbearing or non-loadbearing (cladding) panels and can be flat or custom made. The panels can come with an off-form surface finish as well as a variety of surface finishes and patterns.
