GCT Structural Insulated Building Components are prefabricated lightweight sections consisting of an expanded polystyrene (EPS) core placed between two layers of galvanized steel welded wire mesh. A steel wire connector is pierced completely through the EPS core and welded to each of the outer layer sheets of galvanized steel welded wire mesh. The galvanized steel Welded wire mesh is made from steel having a minimum yield of 87 KSI and a minimum fracture of 98 KSI and complies with ACI, section 3.5.3.5 and IBC, section 1903.
GCT Structural Insulated Building Components must be covered with high strength mortar like the
GCT Structural Mortar Mix
and must comply with ASTM C-387 and ASTM C-270.
