Apparatus and methods for using recycled material in the fabrication of precast architectural products

Abstract

This disclosure relates to devices and methods for the manufacture and installation of precast architectural products derived from recycled materials. Preferably, the precast products are comprised of recycled foam material that may be derived from scrap material or used mold components. The recycled devices and methods utilize a two-step ledger system to help install architectural products that would otherwise require mechanical fasteners because of the weight of the precast piece. To be used with a ledger, the architectural products disclosed herein comprise a channel or indentation configured to receive and rest on the ledger. Also disclosed is a mold for precast architectural products that can itself form a part of the recycled foam material used in the mixture that forms precast architectural products.
