Overview

Hunter Precast offers durable and aesthetically versatile precast concrete cladding solutions that enhance the appearance and performance of your build.

Cladding in precast concrete is a both an architectural and construction choice. Allowing a variety of shapes, features and finishes coupled with ease and pace of installation, it has proven to be a popular option.

Non-Load Bearing Cladding Panels

Non-load bearing precast concrete cladding is ideal for industrial and commercial facades, providing both functional and aesthetic benefits.

Used as a façade, often for industrial and commercial builds, non-structural precast concrete panels are generally attached to the buildings steel structural frame. Available in a variety of thicknesses, these cladding panels offer a high level of fire resistance, good thermal mass, fast and efficient erection and increased design flexibility.

Our panels are available with custom door and window voids, and service inclusions for lighting, power, data and ventilation/air conditioning. Hunter Precast also offer decorative panels boasting coloured concrete, decorative patterns and in any curve radius.

Panels are available up to 10 metres long and 3.6 metres wide.

100mm
150mm
200mm

Dado Walls: Protection and Durability

The lower part of the wall, Dado walls provide essential protection to the lower section of industrial structures, improving both durability and fire resistance.

A dado wall traditionally refers to the lower third of a wall being different to the upper third. In this case, concrete precast panels often installed below sheet metal. Predominantly used in warehouses and industrial sheds, precast concrete dado walls are generally set at 2.4m high and offer security and protection to the bottom of a predominantly steel-clad structure.

Benefits also include an increased fire rating and greater protection from vehicle and mobile plant impacts.

Thickness:

100-150mm

Standard sizes:

6 x 2.4m

Balustrades: Stylish and Functional Design

Precast concrete balustrades are both a practical and aesthetic choice for adding safety features to residential and commercial buildings.

Precast concrete balustrades make for a cost effective and stylish solution for commercial and residential builds alike. Incorporated as part of, or all of, the balustrade, precast can offer accents to any design whilst also offering privacy and sound reflection.
