When refurbishing older buildings or converting existing structures, like warehouses, the key requirements are:
- Good acoustic insulation
- Good fire resistance
- Lightweight to minimise added load to existing structure
Hebel® offers a range of products that have been successfully adopted into refurbishment projects.
Using Hebel® Powerpanel™, two walling systems are available, these are:
- Hebel® Acoustic Wall Systems, for high performance party walls.
- Hebel® Internal Wall Systems, for partition walls within a unit.
For small or difficult wall areas:
- Hebel® blocks offer the flexibility of traditional masonry.
For additional levels of floor:
- Hebel® floor panels can be supplied in different lengths, thicknesses, widths and load carrying capabilities. The thickness of the Hebel® panels should be in accordance with the design engineer’s specification taking into account the required span, load, and deflection limits.
