Powerpanel Domestic and Commercial Wall Systems
Powerpanel is changing the way in which many houses in Australia are being built, and at about the same cost as masonry veneer construction.
The growing trend toward coated and coloured houses is reflected by the growing number of industry awards towards this style of building.
What is Powerpanel?The Powerpanel system is an inherently stronger wall and is an ideal surface on which to apply renders or any of the modern decorative coatings that are available today.
Other features such as quoins, trims and window surrounds can also be easily applied to enhance the 'look' of your new home.
Powerpanel MaterialsPowerpanel is manufactured from autoclaved aerated concrete which has been extensively used in Europe for over 50 years, and is manufactured in many countries around the world including Germany, France, Italy, Turkey, South East Asia, Mexico, Japan and USA.
Put simply, AAC is a form of concrete which has been aerated and then steam cured under high pressure.
Features of Powerpanel Wall SystemsSome of the reasons that Powerpanel is being recognised as a building system with a superior difference include:
- Strength - Each panel has four steel reinforcing bars running vertically when installed, as well as several transverse bars.
- Quality - The manufacturing tolerance of Powerpanel helps ensure a straight wall and provides an ideal substrate for the application of coatings.
- Versatility - Powerpanel can be installed to either a timber or steel stud fame.
- Design - Features such as quoins and corbels can be easily added to suit any style in the design of your new home.
- Insulation - AAC excellent thermal insulating properties are well known. Powerpanel provides built in insulation that can be further enhanced with the use of insulation. The standard Powerpanel system has twice the R-value (measurement of insulation) to standard brick veneer.
- Safety - The high insulating factor and incombustibility of Hebel means added safety from fire. The Powerpanel system achieves a 3-hour fire rating, which exceeds all domestic wall-building requirements and is ideal for boundary situations.
- Space - The Powerpanel system allows a slightly thinner wall which, over the perimeter of the house results in about 2% more floor area for an equivalent brick-veneer dwelling.
- Style - The Powerpanel systems is the ideal way to create an individual, and affordable, style to any home.
