Introduction to Composite Walls

Composite walls are made up of different types of materials, such as concrete,


insulation, and structural elements, to provide enhanced properties.

These walls are designed to improve thermal efficiency, strength, and durability
of the building structure.

The use of composite walls is popular in sustainable and energy-efficient


construction due to their ability to reduce heat loss and overall energy
consumption.
Different Types of Composite Walls

Types of Composite Walls Advantages of Composite Walls

• Fiberglass composite walls: Made from glass fibers • High thermal insulation properties
embedded in a resin matrix. Excellent strength and
• Good acoustic insulation
durability.

• • Fire resistance, depending on the composite materials


Concrete composite walls: Incorporate concrete for
enhanced structural support and load-bearing used
capabilities. • Durable and low maintenance
• Wood-plastic composite walls: Blend of wood fibers and
thermoplastics, providing a natural look with added
weather resistance.
