Bypass Panels
A Faster Approach to Exterior Walls
Bypass panels provide an efficient prefabricated solution for commercial exterior wall construction. Fabricated off site and delivered ready for installation, the panels extend past the floor slab and connect back to the building structure, helping streamline enclosure and reduce work in the field.
Efficiency Starts Off Site
Moving wall assembly into a controlled fabrication environment can improve consistency while reducing weather-related challenges and on-site labor. Once delivered, bypass panels can be lifted into position and installed efficiently, helping contractors enclose the building sooner and keep other trades moving.
Made for Commercial Construction
Bypass panels provide a flexible exterior wall solution that can be coordinated with the building structure and project-specific envelope requirements. Depending on the specified assembly, prefabricated exterior panels can incorporate framing, sheathing, air and water barriers, insulation and other components before reaching the job site.
- Non-load-bearing exterior wall construction
- Bypasses floor slab edges
- Prefabricated in a controlled environment
- Faster on-site installation
- Reduced field labor
- Helps accelerate building enclosure
- Can accommodate multiple building-envelope components
Precision From Fabrication to Installation
Successful bypass panel construction starts with coordination between the panel fabricator, structural team, architect and contractor. Early planning helps coordinate connections, panel dimensions and building-envelope details before fabrication, creating a more efficient path from production through installation.
