For nearly 30 years HK Composites has been manufacturing innovative concrete insulated sandwich panel wall ties. With over 70 million sq ft of insulated sandwich panels successfully poured around the world, HK Composites has become a leader in insulated sandwich panel technology, in the precast, cast-in-place and tilt-up concrete industries.
As you can see below, HK Composites manufacturers several types of ties (or connectors) for different purposes.
Standard / Non-Composite Action
- Designed specifically for use in tilt-up and precast panels
- For insulation thicknesses between 50mm and 200mm or 2″ and 8″
- Pushed through the foam layer until properly seated, immediately after the bottom wythe of concrete is placed
Vertical Pour / Modular Precast
- Designed specifically for use in vertical pour site cast formwork, precast panels, or modular precast units
- For insulation thicknesses between 50mm and 100mm or 2″ and 4″
- Chair clips are used to connect the tie to WWF in the exterior wythe and Flat clips hold the insulation in place on the tie while concrete is poured around it
CA / Composite Action
- Designed specifically for use in tilt-up and precast panels
- For insulation thicknesses between 50mm and 200mm or 2″ and 8″
- Pushed through the foam layer until properly seated, immediately after the bottom wythe of concrete is placed
