About SlenderWall

SlenderWall, an Easi-Set Worldwide licensed product, is a unique composite cladding system, 66% lighter than traditional 6" thick precast. This is achieved by integrating a galvanized interior steel stud frame with a 2" thick precast concrete panel. Even with this lighter weight, SlenderWall panels are tested to withstand 226 mph winds. Each panel on the project will have its stud wall cavity filled with 3.5" of factory-applied closed-cell foam insulation to achieve an R-24 thermal rating. SlenderWall will play a significant role in the energy efficiency of the project.
