New panel under development
BURLINGTON, ON
Comtek Advanced Structures and Res Precast are jointly developing a high strength composite insulated panel for use in the building construction industry.
Under a recent agreement, Comtek will license its resin infusion technology to Res Precast and produce demonstration sample panels for market development.
“The initial feedback from the market has been very positive,” according to Bruce Taylor, General Manager of Res Precast.
“Small scale samples have been successfully produced and we are beginning to produce full scale demonstration panels.”
“We are delighted to be working with Res Precast on this project. Full scale testing will be underway shortly, to demonstrate that this new product meets all applicable building science standards and code requirements,” said Patrick Whyte, Comtek’s President and CEO.
“Once compliance has been demonstrated, Res will begin work on the design and construction of a new plant to manufacture these panels.”
Res Precast Inc. has been involved in the manufacturing and installation of architectural precast wall panels for the past 17 years serving the greater Toronto area marketplace.
