Hebel Wall Panels
Hebel Horizontal Wall Panels are precast reinforced AAC panels for construction of walls, where a load bearing is not required. Panels are a very fast way of cladding a structure where thermal, fire and soundproofing properties are desired. They are an ideal complement to steel frame construction in commercial applications.
Panels are individually manufactured to specified lengths to exactly fit a building frame, and are available in thicknesses of 125, 150, 175, and 200mm.
Panels are manufactured with a tongue on the top and a groove on the underside to lock them together.All panels are manufactured with two layers of reinforcing welded into a mesh, which is dipped in an anti-corrosive agent before placing in moulds.
Panels are attached to steel frames using stainless steel Tension Ties which hook around the flanges of the steel columns.
Benefits
- Hebel Horizontal Wall Panels are approximately one quarter of the density of standard reinforced concrete, therefore bracing demand is substantially reduced.
- Installation time is very fast, especially if the design has been specifically done to reduce panel cutting. Panels can be easily cut or drilled on site , if required to form openings for services.
- Panels have a fire rating in excess of 240 minutes so specific design of reinforcing cover is not required.
- Installed wall panels provide a perfect substrate for acrylic coating and plaster systems.
