Some years ago, prefabricated systems to enclose building were mainly used on facades of industrial constructions. Nowadays, this system is widespread and it is used in any kind of construction. It is used in medium to large sized constructions, building that have been created with particular focus on the spacing of its structure.

The most common are concrete prefabs, manufactured from concrete, or GRC panels, manufactured from gypsum reinforced with fibreglass. The main difference between these two systems is their weight and thickness.
