Advantages of Megaton Precast MEGA-Foam Panel: Achieving M² Efficiency with Wallless Precast Panels
Megaton Precast Foam Insulation Application and Process
Megaton Precast Foam insulation application is an insulation technique that is performed after the panel is removed from the mold and contains granulated styrofoam, cement and water in appropriate proportions. The balanced granule sizes of the styrofoam and the consistent adjustment of the cement ratio directly affect the quality of the insulation. In addition, black or white cement can be preferred in Megaton Precast applications; this choice is determined by both aesthetic and functional expectations.
The prepared mortar can be completely filled into the precast panel and the surface is leveled. Then, a mesh is placed on the panel and rough plaster is applied. After the drying phase, which lasts about a day, the Mega-Foam panel is ready for installation. After installation, the insulation surface on the inside of the panel can be coated with gypsum plaster or betopan as desired. In this way, high performance is achieved in both heat and sound insulation.
Comparison of Rockwool and Megaton Precast Foam Insulation
In rockwool insulation applications, five screwing apparatus are used for each panel. The holes and joints opened during this process increase the risk of thermal bridges. In the Mega-Foam application, the possibility of thermal bridges is minimized by the mesh and rough plaster after the mortar has completely dried.
In addition, when used inside rockwool panels, gaps may remain between the carcass and precast, and these gaps may create additional thermal and sound bridges. In the Mega-Foam panel, the insulation material is completely placed on the panel and the gaps are prevented. Thus, air and sound transmission is significantly reduced; as a result, the Foam panel offers higher performance in insulation efficiency compared to rockwool.
Comparison of Brick Wall and Megaton Precast Foam Panel
Although brick is a traditional material, it poses a high risk especially in earthquake zones due to its low tensile strength. In the event of an earthquake, brick walls can be easily damaged and endanger the safety of the structure.
On the other hand, precast panel applications produced by Megaton Precast attract attention with their high earthquake resistance properties. Studies show that precast panels can withstand earthquakes of up to 8.1 magnitude. Therefore, Megaton Precast Foam panels stand out as a very advantageous and solid choice in terms of earthquake safety.
Building Load Comparison
While 1 m² of plastered brick wall has a weight of approximately 220 kg, Mega-Foam panel covering the same area is in the range of 65-75 kg. The use of Megaton Precast Foam panel, which is almost three times lighter, significantly reduces the building load, especially in large-scale projects, and positively contributes to the carrying capacity of the structure.
Ease of Assembly in Joinery, Wrought Iron, Railings and Other Applications
Depending on the decisions taken with the employer during the project phase, special profiles are placed on the carcass of Megaton Precast material and the necessary infrastructure is provided for the assembly of details such as joinery, perforation and railings. Blind frame applications are also completely solved within the panel; thus, the need for a second supplier is eliminated and the assembly process is accelerated.
Time and Cost Savings
One of the most obvious advantages of Mega-Foam panels is the time and cost savings they provide in projects. In particular, not requiring insulation application reduces the need for additional labor and material. However, in projects that prefer brick walling, additional costs such as brick material, labor and mortar arise and the completion time is extended.
By using Megaton Precast Foam panel, it is possible to solve applications such as exterior cladding, insulation, blind frame at once and with a single supplier. This approach not only speeds up the workflow, but also eliminates the need to manage different suppliers. In case of a possible problem, having a single contact person facilitates project management and makes the process more efficient.
As a result, the use of Mega-Foam panel; offers speed, economy and high performance in the construction sector. This system, which stands out with both weight and insulation advantages, adds value to projects in many aspects from earthquake safety to aesthetics. In this way, construction processes are completed in a shorter time and costs can be significantly reduced.
