Understanding Wall Systems and Custom Finishes for Concrete Insulated Panels

In this video, we explore the structure and benefits of the wall systems in Concrete Insulated Panel (CIP) construction. We explain how Nevada pins and Pultruded fiberglass ties create a strong connection between the outer veneer and the structural concrete layers, eliminating thermal bridging and enhancing energy efficiency. Learn about the different insulation options, rebar grid layouts, and materials like Remesh and poly fiber mesh that reinforce the panels. We also discuss the wide range of interior and exterior finish possibilities, from smooth epoxy surfaces to etched concrete and custom graphic art, giving your home a unique and durable look.
