SYSTEM OVERVIEW
AlphaPanel® has been designed and tested to meet all requirements of the National Construction Code and the relevant Australian Standards. AlphaPanel® is a non-combustible, high performing, lightweight, high strength, glass fibre reinforced precast concrete panel that is manufactured in New South Wales, Australia, by XCEM Pty Limited. XCEM's AlphaPanel is wholly Australian Made & Owned; XCEM is ISO 9001 accredited.
The erected AlphaPanel® wall is strong, durable, impact resistant and provides a solid concrete wall feel. AlphaPanel® can be used as external and internal walls in all building types, including:
-
External façades for high-rise buildings
-
Internal walls for high-rise buildings
-
External walls for detached residential houses and low-rise multi-residential buildings
-
Low-rise intertenancy and boundary walls
-
Basement walls in multi-storey buildings
-
External & Internal walls in light industrial construction
BENEFITS
High Performance at the Right Price
AlphaPanel® is solid, high-strength glass fibre reinforced concrete, yet is more affordable than inferior products such as AAC panels, fibre cement sheets, and brick. AlphaPanel® is a true pre-cast concrete substitute at approximately 50% of the finished wall cost.
Crystalline Silica Free
AlphaPanel® contains no crystalline silica, eliminating risk of development of silicosis through inhalation of dust.
High Thermal Performance
- R Value and Thermal Mass
AlphaPanel® has a relatively high R-Value and Thermal Mass contribution.
Increased NSA (Net Saleable Area) in Apartments
AlphaPanel® wall systems are the slimmest footprint intertenancy and corridor systems available in the market. Substitution of AAC or plasterboard wall systems with AlphaPanel® creates on average an additional 1.5 square meters per apartment in Net Saleable Area (NSA), providing significant value for all stakeholders.
Fast Installation
AlphaPanel® is lightweig dramatically increasing speed of construction, and reducing construction costs.
Less Maintenance
AlphaPanel® is lightweight, impact resistant, high strength concrete that is resistant to damage during and after construction. This removes patching requirements from impact from trolleys or tools and reduces ongoing maintenance costs.
Codemark Certified
AlphaPanel® is CodeMark Certified and fully compliant with all applicable NCC requirements and the relevant Australian Standards.
Australian Made and Owned
AlphaPanel® is 100% Australian Made & Owned. AlphaPanel® is manufactured at XCEM's state-of-the-art manufacturing facility located in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales.
Fast and Simple Cutting and Penetrations
No dust rooms are required for cutting of AlphaPanel when wet-cut using a diamond-tipped masonry saw with edges finished with a diamond-tipped reciprocating saw. Penetrations are quick and simple to cut in AlphaPanel.
