The prefabricated units have three layers: the outermost layer is the U- or L-shaped shell. These are produced in a variety of angles; the surfaces are lye-treated. Only the fronts contain the larger stones, a more costly material: after the units are sanded, these stones become visible. In this manner it is possible to minimize the amount of material required to achieve the terrazzo-like surface. After the insulation is installed, the reinforcement is positioned and then concrete is poured into the sandwich unit’s load-bearing core. The production of these units in the workshop setting guarantees a consistent high standard at a low cost.
