Panel-based system for providing non-load-bearing fire and acoustic rated walls. Recycled materials used. Panels are totally reusable and recyclable.

Speedpanel Eco Benefits

  • Speedpanel provides a high level of insulation, thereby reducing space heating and cooling bills.
  • Speedpanel is lighter and more cost effective to transport than most other building materials used for an equivalent function.The materials used to build the walls of approximately two houses can be transported on one semi trailer. This reduces CO2 emissions arising from transport.
  • 15% of the Speedpanel product comes from recycled material
  • Every part of the Speedpanel product can be recycled at the end of its useful life.
  • The Speedpanel product is expected to last over 100 years when used internally and not exposed to corrosion
  • No waste emissions arise from the production process; excess water, steel and cement are re-used in production.
