SAVAGE, Minn., Jan. 20, 2011 – There’s a new option for builders and owners of metal buildings. Fabcon, a leading manufacturer of high-quality precast concrete wall panels and other precast products, has introduced Wains-Crete, a precast modular base panel for use with metal buildings. Designed for high-traffic areas where lifts, skid-loaders and other work vehicles can damage ordinary metal walls, Fabcon’s Wains-Crete is available in 8-foot by 10-foot panels and partials in 2-foot increments.

“This new product is the perfect solution for the building owner or contractor who wants to enhance a metal building installation by adding the perimeter protection and upgraded appearance of precast concrete,” said Jim Houtman, vice president of sales and marketing for Fabcon.

Wains-Crete modular panels are available in either steel form finish or flat exposed aggregate finish in a variety of colors, offering numerous accent options to otherwise plain metal exteriors. Wains-Crete panels are smaller and lighter than traditional precast panels and can be installed using a lift rather than a crane. “Fabcon’s Wains-Crete modular panels beat traditional masonry or block construction when you consider construction speed, thermal performance and cost to maintain,” Houtman explained.
