03 47 13 Tilt-Up Concrete
Tilt-up construction is a method of building developed more than 100 years ago where walls or building elements are cast on site. They are lifted into place and braced until permanent structural connections are completed. Tilt-up walls can be insulated and/or load bearing with a wide variety of finishes.
The large tilt-up concrete panels lend themselves to a variety of decorative architectural treatments, including:
The thermal energy properties of concrete, combined with a variety of insulation systems, minimize energy costs. Further, heating/cooling loads and even the size of mechanical units may be reduced in some building environments. Tilt-up buildings are airtight, and the insulation is continuous from footing through the roof.
The construction method we use affords owners a cost-effective, energy-efficient, durable building product with great architectural versatility and appeal.
The many applications of the tilt-up system deliver a green building with quality, speed, economics, durability and beauty. With more than 50 buildings comprising over 100,000,000 square feet of panels Tilt Wall has become a leader in tilt-up construction in Ontario.
