Previously, bricks were thought to be the best choice for compound walls because they were easy to work with, but now precast compound walls are gaining popularity for their superior design. Precast compound walls are available in a variety of sizes, shapes, designs, and colours, resulting in a classic building design that not only looks elegant but also saves time during construction. Some of the reasons why precast compound walls are preferred over traditional brick walls are as follows:
Compound walls that are traditional
- Traditional compound walls are made from clay and some heating techniques; their durability is determined by the quality of plaster used during the preparation process.
- A traditional wall (around 100mtr) takes at least 7 days to build and another 7 days for water curing, which requires a lengthy installation and hard labour process.
- Traditional brick wall construction is very expensive in terms of materials and construction processes.
- Traditional brick walls are less durable than precast compound walls. With ordinary hand tools, its 150mm thick brick masonry can be easily broken.
- If brick walls are built in areas with a moist climate, they can be easily damaged by the elements.
- If something goes wrong during construction, we’ll have to start over.
- The traditional brick wall’s long-lasting property is dependent on the thickness, sand quality, and craftsmanship, which makes it weak in nature.
Walls made of precast concrete
- Precast compound walls are heavier and more durable than traditional brick walls because they are made of concrete and steel.
- A 100mtr compound wall takes about 2 days to build, which drastically reduces the time required to build a wall.
- When compared to traditional brick walls, these walls are less expensive and have a longer lifespan.
- These walls are made of high tensile wire every 75 mm and can only be cut mechanically.
- Mold, fire, and moisture have no effect on precast concrete walls.
- In the event of a failure during construction, only a few columns may be affected, allowing us to replace only those panels. Panels can be reused after minor repairs.
- The precast panels are extremely secure. The panels are made of high tensile reinforced wires and high-grade concrete, and they can be broken mechanically.
