EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) wall panel system
Insulated panels can clad vertically or horizontally. There are three different profile finishes and two roof profiles that can be combined with a wide choice of colours and specialist paint finishes suitable for both interior and exterior applications.
Save on Build Time
Being modular, the insulated panel can significantly reduce building time. The Slip Joint panels arrive on-site pre-finished and are installed efficiently using single fix construction techniques without delay.
"Green" Buildings
The insulated panels are made from recyclable materials which efficiently controls energy within the finished building. The short build time offsets the minimal environmental impact of their manufacture and installation.
Ongoing energy savings are made through outstanding climate control provided by the panel's continuous insulation properties - reducing heating, refrigeration and air conditioning costs.
Panels are Cost Effective
Insulated roof panels provide surprisingly excellent spanning capabilities and are self supporting and suitable for both load bearing and non-load bearing applications.
Lightweight Performance
The lightweight modular nature of the panels particularly with an XFLAM or EPS core produces minimal lateral loading during an earthquake or cyclone. This force is comfortably accommodated by the high bracing capacity of the panel and the high strength of the steel facings and associated fixings.
There is an inherent degree of flexure in the panel and the steel skin which provides significant protection from falling objects.
In panel construction, structural couplings and fixings are normally accessible for post event damage inspection and repair.
Fire Rated
Choose from the range of panel cores to meet the requirements of global insurers and the standards required in the Australian Building codes.
The ranges of cores have been comprehensively tested to 30 or 60 minute fire rating (FRR) as well as FM Global 4880 Class 1.
Passive Temperature Control
Fully encapsulated pre-finished panels containing insulating core materials provide a guaranteed and continuous insulation rating, suitable for all weather conditions. When used as a roofing product, radiant heat transfer and condensation build up is eliminated.
Made In Australia
All panels are made in state-of- the-art manufacturing plants in Australia and are manufactured to the required length ensuring continuous watertight panels and no waste.
Production flexibility, the fast turn around of orders, and short runs are a feature of manufacturing capabilities with unique position of having operations in most states minimises transport, thus reducing one of the contributors to global warming.
Advanced Insulation Ratings
Panel thicknesses provide a simple solution to achieving a full spectrum of insulation ratings – greater than the requirements of the Building Code. Through improving the insulation values, the amount of fuel or energy required to heat or cool a building is reduced, benefiting the environment and providing savings to the building user.
EPS - Polyfoam
EPS (expanded polystyrene) is the industry proven core used in insulated panel construction for more than 30 years. It is ideally suited in temperature control applications and has an impressive strength to weight ratio.
EPS is the cost effective solution to rising building costs and its exceptional lightweight properties provide further savings in the costs for foundations, framing and installation.
EPS panel system meets the Australian & NZBC acceptable solution C/AS1 for foamed plastics, and when detailed to specification achieves a fire resistance 240/240/- rating for non-load bearing walls. The raw material used contains a fire retardant and is completely recyclable.
The energy saved in the first six months of a building constructed from EPS panel is more than the total energy used to manufacture EPS and convert it to an insulating material.
