Panelco was born with the acquisition of an exclusive distribution contract for a panel based construction system for Costa Rica. This unique system was developed in 1977 in California and marketed under the Covintec brand due to the surname of its creators "Covington.
Throughout the 17 years we have been offering the system in the region, all kinds of buildings have been built with it: from shopping centers, to touristic complexes, including residences of all sizes.
We have extensively used Panelco panels as enclosure elements in many of the luxury condominium projects at Los Sueños Resort.
For more than 15 years, the system has shown its thermal and acoustic benefits in this demanding market. From the structural point of view, the panel has had an excellent behavior, even in the presence of important seismic events.
The development of projectable mortars in recent years has facilitated the construction and good performance of the system which we use in many other projects designed by our office.
The density of steel by weight is greater than that of a normal masonry wall and the separation of meshes gives the panel a better capacity for efforts in its weak sense.

I am very happy with the construction system because it has fulfilled the expectations and needs that we expected in regards to the weather, noise and soil conditions. I recommend it one hundred percent, plus, construction is faster than other systems on the market.
