THERMAGUARD™ is one of SLENDERWALL®’s 5 "Must Have" Cladding Technologies for today's owners. These technologies are available only with SLENDERWALL®. THERMAGUARD™ is the only 100% thermal-break / air barrier precast system. The connection consists of thermal-break protection created by both the 1/2 inch air space between the concrete panel and steel stud, and the exclusive epoxy-coated steel Nelson® anchor. The patented connection prevents corrosion and reduces thermal transfer by as much as 25%, providing a lifetime of heating and cooling savings. The other SLENDERWALL® benefits are as follows:
SLENDERWALL® is the only panel system that offers 5 "Must Have" Cladding Technologies that provides value for today's owners and developers:

  • DURAFLEX 360°™ - the only technology that allows 360° differential movement isolating the precast concrete skin from the structural stresses associated with wind loading, structural frame movement, expansion, contraction, and seismic shock thereby preserving the structural integrity and water tightness of the wall. DURAFLEX  360°™  Technology has been tested under and passed applicable ASTM and AAMA test methods including AAMA 501.4-2000, Intersectory Differential Movement Vertical and Horizontal Displacement Test.
  • H2OUT™ - the only, secondary drainage, street-level, caulk joint leak detection system. If the exterior caulk ever leaks, the leak exits to the outside of the building and can be located within 20 feet of the failure whether your building is 5 days, 5 years or 20 years old. Patent pending.
  • LIFT-and-RELEASE™ - the only panel-landing system that makes the installation process faster and easier (as little as 15 minutes per panel). Patent pending.
  • SECOND NATURE™ - the only "Class A" Architectural Precast Concrete Brick finish available with the quality level necessary for "Class A" commercial projects.

SLENDERWALL® combines time-tested components for unlimited design freedom, unmatched product life and unequaled savings. It is the only wall system that combines four proven components: architectural precast concrete; hot-dipped galvanized welded wire; insulated Nelson® anchors; and heavy gauge galvanized steel or stainless steel studs, to create a single, efficient exterior wall system for new construction and renovation.

SLENDERWALL® is designed to reduce building foundation and structure costs, shipping and installation costs, and thermal transfer. The design isolates the exterior precast concrete cladding from the structural stresses associated with wind loading, steel frame movement, expansion, contraction and seismic shock. SLENDERWALL® allows the building frame to move independently of the exterior skin, preserving the structural integrity and water tightness of the wall system.

The SLENDERWALL® panel system ends your search for an exterior cladding system that will eliminate wall failures forever.

  • Reduces structural steel and foundation requirements when compared to conventional methods.
  • Accommodates structural stresses such as building frame lateral displacement, beam and floor deflection, column shortening and long-term creep.
  • Eliminates corrosion by utilizing corrosion-proof and rust-proof materials.
  • Maintenance-free, waterproof panel that minimizes vapor infiltration by employing a specially formulated precast concrete mix.
  • Allows cantilevered structure designs thereby providing major cost savings.

The SLENDERWALL® panel system allows the design freedom to create a lasting impression.

  • Time-tested, proven components.
  • Permanence of architectural precast concrete. It will not dent, rust, burn, warp or delaminate like other systems.
  • Custom shapes and sizes, radiuses, bull noses, reveals and returns manufactured to tight tolerances in year-round climate-controlled factories.
  • Load-bearing or curtain wall applications.
