INTRODUCING PANELFORM A REVOLUTIONARY, GREEN, COST-SAVING, MULTI-USE BUILDING SYSTEM FOR THE 21st CENTURY
Overview Description:
PanelForm Building System consists of panels that interlock to create permanent formwork.
Each panel is 600 x 1200 mm, weighs 4.5 has two faces: a smooth face, which forms
the outer surface of the panel and structure, and a ribbed face with prongs. When creating a wall, panels are positioned with their prongs overlapping, and metal rods are run through the prongs to hold the panels in place. In addition to this, the panel’s periphery is designed with an interlocking male female button system which is used to snap panels together to form a continuous surface. PanelForm is a very versatile product with a myriad of applications.
Anyone using PanelForm will quickly find more applications.
►PanelForm is the subsidiary of an Australian company that has been in business since 2004.
►PanelForm Pty Ltd (an Australian company) is the worldwide patent holder for all applications of PanelForm.
►PanelForm is an amazing, lightweight, interlocking building system that creates permanent formwork
►Its vast array of construction applications include:
●HOUSING: both single family homes and residential complexes, with guaranteed lower costs, construction time savings and substantially less construction site debris
●COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES: including office buildings, shopping centers, parking structures, with guaranteed lower costs, construction time savings and substantially less construction site debris
●LARGE-SCALE ENGINEERING PROJECTS: such as dams, bridges, canals, tunnels, water tanks, silos and other public infrastructure improvements
●HIGHWAY & FREEWAY: median dividers, with guaranteed lower costs and construction time savings compared to existing concrete barriers, with additional crash-minimizing, life-saving benefits
●SWIMMING POOLS: easy to construct to any shape no excavation or additional finishing required
●OTHER uses for PanelForm: construction elements such as Columns, Slabs, Roofs, Fences, Floating Structures, Suspended Ceilings, Partitions, Shafts, Piping, Bomb Shelters etc.
►PanelForm is a new, green technology, with the panels 100% made from recyclable, composite materials where required
►the Tool systems used to manufacture the panel are easily adaptable to existing manufacturing centers and plants like in the U.S., meaning that industries and manufacturing sectors that are facing layoffs can save and create new jobs in a new green technology
►installing the interlocking permanent framework for PanelForm saves construction time by up to 75% compared to conventional construction techniques
►the materials used to fill the panels can be clay, mud, sand, rocks etc., meaning no environmental degradation
►the finishing can be any color, texture, graphic design or shape
►PanelForm is ideal for large-scale government applications. Examples include the Pentagon, which has a major strategic focus and continuing need for a significant number of housing and other construction projects wherever troops are stationed overseas, and PanelForm can provide low-cost, expeditious construction to satisfy these demands
►FEMA relief efforts following natural disasters can be substantially improved with PanelForm, which would provide low cost, high quality, permanent reconstruction of housing, schools, hospitals and other general infrastructure.
PanelForm is environmentally friendly. Among its many benefits:
►it eliminates the need to destroy forests for timber boards and frames; and
►the energy required to heat or cool a PanelForm house is significantly less
than the energy required to heat and cool conventional homes.
Fire Resistant – PanelForm can be made of fire-retardant materials and will not catch on fire even when a blow torch is applied to the panel.
Water Resistant: PanelForm is water resistant, so there is no need for an additional waterproofing membrane and associated protection.
Cost Effective: Not only is PanelForm price competitive, but is also dramatically reduces construction time. Panels are easily and quickly snapped together, so preparation is minimal. A large amount of time is also saved in relation to the formwork stripping process: PanelForm eliminates the formwork stripping process. Therefore, the use of PanelForm will lead to increased productivity. PanelForm is more affordable to build than its competitors. PanelForm
houses will be sold as a premium product offering the inbuilt sustainability advantage of thermal mass for the mass production market. PanelForm has an advantage for use in remote locations such as for third world housing.
Strong: The PanelForm building system produces a strong, integrated structure that is less susceptible to damage from natural disasters (earthquakes, tornados, cyclones, and hurricanes) compared to conventional building systems.
PanelForm structures provide the safety of a bomb shelter.
Adaptable: PanelForm building system is extremely adaptable. PanelForm structures do not need to be filled with concrete. Suitable fillings include mud, clay, rocks etc. Structural walls can be achieved with a combination of concrete columns and any of these alternative materials. Panels that have been filled with clay or mud are reusable. Most importantly, PanelForm installation does not require skilled labor. This makes it an ideal building
system for developing nations.
Code: PanelForm is certified as a thermal water proofing membrane, and meets - and exceeds - all US building code regulations and specifications
Availability: PanelForm can be shipped to any city or country worldwide.
Engineering: There are no special engineering requirements for a PanelForm building system; they are same as the requirements for conventional structures. However, PanelForm does provide some engineering advantages. Since PanelForm structures are fully integrated and all structural components (walls and slabs) are self-supporting, dead weight is eliminated. This means that thinner walls and slabs can be designed, with larger spans between columns. In addition to this, beams become unnecessary. Consequently, a lot of time and money can be saved in concrete and steel.
Vermin Proof: PanelForm structures are unaffected by termites and resistant to infestation by vermin such as rats and cockroaches.
Product Composition: PanelForm can be made from a variety of materials, thousands to choose from. Most current projects are using high impact polystyrene (HIPS). UV stability and flame retardant agents can also be added. PanelForm can also be made from aluminum or other metals by using casting technology.
Finishes: PanelForm may act as the finished surface, with the desired color and texture: its snug and accurate alignment results in only fine line delineation between adjacent panels, creating an aesthetically pleasing finish. Consequently, panels can be ordered in any color and in a variety of textures. In addition to this, panels can be over-moulded with steel or stone to produce unique and elegant structures engraved with art design trademark or slogan.
