Enviro Eco Wall Panel Buildings

EnviroEcoWall is our unique pre-engineered, insulated, load bearing panel system designed to form a fireproof building envelope. It replaces traditional construction methods by combining structure, insulation, air and vapour barriers into one, prefabricated component that also offers protection from flooding.

The Panels

Literally, at the very core of each EnviroEcoWall panel is our non-combustible insulation slab – a durable and stable high density material that provides excellent fire protection and, thanks to its tightly woven fibres that help to reduce the transfer of heat and sound, great acoustic properties and outstanding thermal performance.

The design of EnviroEcoWall’s timber framing negates the need for additional fillets or splines; the panels slot together seamlessly and are secured with our high performance adhesive and mechanical fixings.

Resistance & Protection

EnviroEcoWall panels are completely fire resistant, tested to over 3 hours with a load of 3,900kg.

The panels have been extensively tested to evaluate their performance in insulating against the transmission of heat and sound. Air leakage associated with traditional construction and timber frame is virtually eliminated when using EnviroEcoWall Panels thanks to the large format nature of the panels and the resulting small number of joints in the structure, so the house requires little, if any, mechanical heating or cooling measures.

Our EcoHouse is constructed on a purpose-built steel sub frame that helps to protect the superstructure and building contents from damage caused by flooding. The sub frame is wrapped with fire resistant material for additional protection and, should prevailing weather conditions become more severe over a period of time, the height of the sub frame can be increased to permanently expand ground clearance of the entire building, even after construction!

Cost Effective

Using our EnviroEcoWall panel system is more cost effective than traditional building methods. Whilst some of the materials may initially be more expensive, the speed of construction combined with the drastic reduction of on-site waste make it more cost effective overall. In addition, the finished build offers the added benefit of improved thermal efficiency therefore saving money on heating bills in the long-term.

How Does It Work?

fire-1

Should a fire occur in one room, our development testing showed that the amazing fire-resistant properties of the EnviroEcoWall panel system are able to contain the fire, stopping the spread to other rooms and eventually forcing the fire to extinguish itself.

fire-2

Once the burnt furnishings are cleared, the electrical fittings and top plasterboard coverings can be removed and quickly replaced.

fire-3

Our intumescent protection means that new sections of cable can simply be pulled through and connected to new fittings.

fire-4

Any damage to glazing is rectified before final decoration and speedy re-occupation after what would typically be a much more devastating series of events – and not even the smell of burning remains.

Benefits of an EnviroEcoWall House

  • Speed of construction

    Strict quality control during our off-site fabrication process ensures dimensional accuracy, helps reduce build time and minimises waste on site. A weatherproof building shell can be complete just a few days after the groundworks are ready to receive the panels.

  • More internal space

    Slim profile walls that incorporate insulation mean more floor space for the same external dimensions when compared to conventional timber frame or masonry construction. Envirowall panel roofs do not require support trusses, leaving clear, warm, habitable roof spaces.

  • Thermal efficiency

    EnviroEcoWall panel’s insulation exceeds the current Building Regulation requirements on its own. The insulated core combined with minimal panel joints help to create air-tight, highly energy-efficient buildings, reducing the need for heating which can mean lower energy bills.

  • Fire safety

    Fireproof, self-extinguishing EnviroEcoWall panels protect life and property.

  • Strength

    Self-supporting mean that, in many cases, they will not need additional physical support.

  • Eco-friendly

    EnviroEcoWall panels are fabricated using timber from sustainable sources. They use less timber than standard timber framing and are one of the most economical and eco-friendly forms of construction. Their high insulation and airtightness reduce the major sources of building energy use.

External Cladding

There is a huge variety of finishes available as any type of cladding can be used for the external finish.

FAQs

Our EcoHouse is constructed on a purpose-built steel sub frame that helps to protect the superstructure and building contents from damage caused by flooding. The sub frame is wrapped with fire resistant material for additional protection and can be built at a height to suit site conditions. Should prevailing weather conditions become more severe over a period of time, the height of the sub frame can be increased to permanently expand ground clearance of the entire building, even after construction!

EnviroEcoWall panels are completely fire resistant, tested to over 3 hours with a load of 3,900kg. Our development testing showed that, should a fire occur in one room, the amazing fire-resistant properties of the EnviroEcoWall panel system are able to contain the fire, stopping the spread to other rooms and eventually forcing the fire to extinguish itself. Thanks to this successful fire limitation and the absence of water damage that would have normally been caused by firefighting measures, repair and renovation is quick, easy and, therefore, much more economical.

EnviroEcoWall homes can be built much faster than traditionally framed buildings. A properly trained installation crew can cut framing time by 55 percent compared to conventional wood framing. Thanks to the size of the panels, entire wall and roof sections can be put up quickly, reducing dry-in time. The panels are ready to install when they arrive at the site, eliminating the time needed to perform the individual jobsite operations of framing, insulating and sheathing stick framed walls.

Our panels are one of the most environmentally responsible building systems available. A SIP building envelope provides continuous insulation, is extremely airtight, allows for better control over indoor air quality, reduces construction waste, and helps save natural resources. Life cycle analysis has shown that SIP homes have a tremendous positive environmental impact by reducing energy use and greenhouse gas emissions throughout the home’s life cycle. SIP designs can save 45% more CO2 with a 5.1 year energy payback and a 3.8 year greenhouse gas payback compared to stick framing examples.
