MAKE IT YOUR OWN

The waffle pattern in panels formed by Waffle-Crete molds offers many benefits during casting and erection. Most notably, up to 60% of concrete and steel and related costs are eliminated. The voids in each panel offer additional benefits when finishing the interior of buildings. 

KEY FEATURES

The voids formed by the waffle pattern in panels offer a convenient location to hide insulation and wiring. There are many low cost options to finish a Global Technology Building System interior that are both functional and attractive.

INTERIOR TREATMENTS

Panels can be insulated by filling voids with either fiberglass or spray foam insulation. In extremely cold climates, foamboard can be added as shown. Optional notches in the ribs can be cast into panels to facilitate wiring. The waffle pattern can be covered with sheetrock, cement board, lath & plaster, or left exposed. Exposed waffles are recommended for low-income housing. If the waffles are left exposed, electrical components and wiring are typically surface mounted on the ribs.

INTERIOR FINISHES

The combination of painted voids and solid walls in the office above not only minimizes finishing costs but also adds interest to the decor. Both surfaces work equally well for hanging pictures. The electrical raceways on the ceiling and left wall are an easy and inexpensive option to hide wiring. Even without insulation this low cost house in Jamaica stays cool because the concrete's mass absorbs heat during the day and then dissipates it at night.
