THERMOMASS is the right choice for the critical demands of cold storage warehouses and distribution centers, protecting your valuable produce and your bottom line.
 
Stable, Controlled Environment

Our insulated walls take advantage of the “thermal mass” effect. “Thermal mass” is the ability of our concrete sandwich panels to store BTUs and hold interior temperatures steady while external temperatures vary. Because energy will be stored within our walls, spikes of temperature variation that are inherent to low mass buildings, such as those constructed with insulated metal panels, will be eliminated.

 
Durable Construction

Cold storage facilities are very dependant on the wall system to remain intact and provide a stable environment for the products contained within.

THERMOMASS insulated panels, with their concrete interior, are durable enough to be impervious to damage from forklifts, material handling equipment and traffic flow that would otherwise be inflicted on other types of walls – resulting in a building that is basically maintenance free.

 
Economical Construction

Building a better facility doesn’t always have to cost more. Concrete is relatively inexpensive and is one of the most durable and flexible construction materials available. Couple that with the added features and benefits of the THERMOMASS Building Insulation System, and you will surely not “break the bank” on the project.

In fact it’s a common misconception that block and brick or stick built construction methods are less expensive than using insulated concrete. When all factors are considered, there is no more economical way than sandwich wall construction and the THERMOMASS Building Insulation System.

Benefits of THERMOMASS
Quick Construction
Walls are built and insulated in one operation, reducing construction time
Energy Efficiency
Composite connectors have such a low conductivity that energy is not transferred from the outside.
Durability
Concrete is low in cost and is one of the most durable and flexible building materials available.
