Lightweight Concrete Wall Panel System Developed For Use With Metal Buildings

摘要

As an alternative to the traditional types of metal claddings used for pre-engineered metal building systems, Earl Composite Systems of Pasadena, CA, manufactures an easily attached concrete panel system called Metal Stud Crete (MSC).MSC panelized wall units are comprised of 2"-thick slabs of concrete joined to light-gauge frames. They are engineered for both load-bearing shear wall and curtain wall applications and can be cast on the job site if needed. They've been successfully used on a whole range of projects; everything from military barracks to convenience stores to single-family homes.Earl Composite Systems is the exclusive licensee of the Metal Stud Crete system and has been marketing the panels to the pre-engineered metal building industry since 1999. Its parent company, Earl Corp. is a 70-year-old corporation with extensive concrete wall experience.
