CarbonCast Architectural Panels
June 2016
CarbonCast is one of the world’smost extensively tested precast technologies. Dozens of independent studieshave been completedthatattest to its superior performance and durability.
Complete test results are available from your local AltusGroupprecaster. Please call 866-GO-ALTUS to request a presentation of research results and get your technicalquestions answered.
