The patented Speedwall panels
consist of ladder trusses that are formed using a 3mm diameter zinc
electroplated galvanized wire, forming 50cm or 100cm squared centres.
Trusses are strapped together on each
face and spot welded with further steel wire creating the structural
framework of the panel. The central insulating core comprises 24
pieces of fire retardant quality insulating core.
The panels are used in the construction
of walls, floors and ceilings using cement render to both sides. The
Speedwall panels are manufactured on site.
Concrete is applied to the interior and
exterior with a compressor to the specified thickness.
The un-sprayed panels are lightweight
and easily handled, and can be shaped, jointed and fixed with the minimum
of skills and equipment.
Due to unique construction of the
Speedwall panel, complex shapes can be formed including circular openings,
arches and curved walls.
Window and door openings can be cut for
any type of framing material.
Electrical conduits, boxes and plumbing
can be easily inserted between the wire mesh and the insulating core.
Any finish can be applied to the wall.
Trusses:
Panels can be manufactured with different trusses having different diameter,
width and lengths. Typically the trusses are supplied as 3mm hot galvanised
medium carbon steel wire with the counter wires set at 50mm centres. In
non-load bearing applications it is often suitable to use 2mm wire.
Polyinsulator: a self extinguishing fire rated polyinsulator is
used as the insulating core. The thickness, density and shape can be changed.
The typical density used is equal to 15kg/m3.
