Commercial External Wall Panels
Fire-rated, thermally efficient AAC wall panels for modern commercial façades and building envelopes.
Fire-Rated, Energy-Efficient AAC Systems for Modern Commercial Buildings
Caldera’s Commercial External Wall Panels offer a smarter alternative to traditional masonry, combining fire safety, thermal performance, and acoustic comfort in a lightweight, precision-engineered AAC system. With fire resistance of over 4 hours, full ASTM and CAN/ULC compliance, and R-values of 0.95–1.25 per inch, these panels deliver exceptional energy efficiency—up to 10× better than standard concrete. This helps commercial buildings reduce heating and cooling loads, cut operating costs, and meet strict energy codes.
Designed for busy urban environments and complex commercial projects, Caldera panels also provide 30–50 dB sound reduction, improving indoor comfort for schools, offices, and mixed-use developments. At only 600–700 kg/m³, they are far lighter than conventional concrete, allowing for faster installation, reduced structural loads, and greater design flexibility. Their precise factory production minimizes waste and supports Step Code and LEED sustainability goals.
