Penny Panel

FIBRE PROPERTIES
Inaccordance with AS1530 Part 4 PENNY PANEL? has the following fireresistance levels when used as a non load bearing wall system:

50mm panel -1hour
75mm panel -2hours
100mm panel -3hours

In terms of Building Code of Australia (AS1530 Part 1) PENNY PANEL? is deemed to be non-combustible.

EPS BEAD
Combustionof EPS in the panel core does not pose a toxicity problem. The CSIRODivision of Building Research states that for foamed polystyrene thepotential toxic hazard appears to be no greater than that for wood.

INSTALLATION
PENNYPANEL? are erected using light gauge steel framing at wall base andhead. A variety of installation options are available incorporatingchannel, angle or totally concealed framing systems. PENNY PANEL? sliptogether using a tongue and groove jointing system and may be flush setor butt jointed according to project requirements.

PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS
PENNY PANEL? exceeds the Building Code of Australia structural tests for lightweight construction.

PENNY PANEL? is suitable for the application of a wide variety of surface finishes, including paints and aggregates.

The fibre cement facings are immune to permanent water damage making PENNY PANEL? suitable for use in wet area applications.

SAVES MONEY

Asinstallation does not require skilled labour or plaster coating, yousave by not employing wet trades or other trades. Transport costs arereduced, due to the lightweight construction. Cost per m2 is also farlower than masonry.

SAVES TIME

PENNY PANELS simplicity suits rapid construction techniques. Factory cured
panels mean no on-site curing.The smooth surfaces are ready for surface finishing if desired.

SAVES SPACE

Slim PENNY PANELS (50 or 75 mm) leave you with extra usable floor space without compromising on insulating properties.

INSULATING

PENNYPANELS provide excellent thermal and sound insulation. The soundtransmission coeffi cient and thermal resistance is similar to masonry.

EASY TO INSTALL

PENNYPANEL  arrive ready to install. The tongue-and-groove system allowsrapid assembly, with panels being slid between top and bottom steel oraluminium sections and locked together. Panels can be cut with powertools and are ready to use or to fi nish with any decorative treatment.

WATER AND TERMITE - RESISTANT

PENNY PANEL  is a termite resistant panel and its excellent water resistant
properties withstand adverse weather conditions.

FIRE RESISTANT

Wherever fire walls are needed,  PENNY PANEL  allows flexibility in design.
Its fire ratings are equivalent to those for masonry, with a marked
improvement in look and feel.

STRONG AND DURABLE

PENNY PANEL withstands knocks, scrapes and rough treatment. The panels are also suitable for seismic and cyclone prone zones.

LIGHTWEIGHT

PENNY PANELS are easy to handle, erect and transport providing flexibility in design and significant structural cost savings.
