Litecrete lightweight precast concrete is manufactured using local pumice aggregate.
The pumice provides an in-built insulation and, when a supplementary 50 mm thick insulation board is installed on the internal face, complies with the insulation requirements of the Building Code. It is 40% lighter than standard precast concrete and can be used in both residential and commercial construction. We don’t get involved in building ourselves; we simply manufacture and supply the panels to architects’ and engineers’ designs and deliver them to site. Litecrete is a subsidiary of Wilco Precast Ltd, based in Papakura, which has been supplying precast concrete into the Auckland, Northland, Waikato and Bay of Plenty regions for over 50 years. Wilco is a Concrete NZ Certified Precast plant, which ensures an ongoing quality assurance system and a commitment to quality principles and procedures.
