Benefits of Hebel
1.
Thermal efficiency
The millions of tiny, evenly
dispersed bubbles in Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (ACC) give
Hebel walls great insulating properties. This means a more
pleasant living environment with lower heating and cooling
costs.
2. Acoustic performance
CSR Hebel has
excellent acoustic properties. The non-interconnected cellular
structure provides significantly better sound absorption than
conventional concrete resulting in a quieter internal
environment.
3. Fire resistance
Autoclaved
aerated concrete is one of the most effective materials for
providing a firewall. Any Hebel block wall thicker than 100mm
will achieve a 4 hour fire rating, which is the highest rating
possible and is far superior to normal brickwork or concrete.
Power Panel walls achieve a 3 hour fire rating, also far
exceeding New Zealands building requirements.
4.
Lightweight
The cellular structure of CSR Hebel results
in a density of only about one fifth of normal concrete. The
low density means faster and easier construction and less load
concerns.
5. High Strength to weight
ratio
During manufacture Autoclaved Aerated Concrete is
steam cured in a pressurized autoclave. The concrete actually
turns to rock, forming microscopic crystals of calcium
silicate hydrate. Unlike many polystyrene or plaster systems
CSR Hebel blocks and panels are solid, robust and impact
resistant.
6. Easily worked
AAC can be easily
cut, drilled and nailed by using normal hand tools. Block
walls are readily routed for provision of
services.
7. Versatile
Due to the ready
workability of CSR Hebel it can be cut to virtually any shape
or angle. The building systems can be used for walls, roofs,
floors, balconies, fire places, stairs, fences and noise
barriers.
8. Rapid assembly
Powerpanel is
supplied in large panels up to 3m x 600mm and is easily fixed
to battens mounted on a timber frame. With masonry
construction the large block size and use of a thin bed mortar
allows rapid and accurate installation.
9.
Dimensional Accuracy
The patented manufacturing process
ensures consistent and highly regular sizing of blocks and
panels as they leave the factory. Variation is minimal
allowing accurate installation and enabling economical
application of a variety of finishing systems.
10.
Low shrinkage
CSR Hebel has low shrinkage compared with
timber and even conventional concrete. This minimizes any
tendancy for cracks to form after construction.
11.
Environmentally friendly
The production process of CSR
Hebel is highly efficient, consuming less raw materials and
energy than other masonry production. All waste products are
collected and recycled back into the manufacturing process.
The only byproduct formed and released is steam. And your
completed home will be very energy efficient.
12.
Non toxic
CSR Hebel products do not containany toxic
gas substances.
13. Pest resistant
CSR Hebel
does not support rodents, fungus, insects, or any other pests.
It will not rot, decay or deteriorate over time.
14.
Earthquake resistant
Heavy masonry structures have a
tendancy to tear themselves apart under oscillating earthquake
loads. Hebel masonry is only 20% of the weight of conventional
concrete and it’s height to weight ratio has ensured many AAC
buildings have survived earthquakes unscathed.
15.
Low Maintenance
A wide range of finishing options are
available. When properly finished you’ve got a low maintenance
building and just as important…..
16. It looks
great!
17. Local, National. International backup
and technical support
Building blocks Northland will
provide personal service and technical advice. Additional
technical expertise is accessible from New Zealand importer,
Lightweight Concrete New Zealand and from CSR Hebel in
Australia. There is a vast technical support available free of
charge when you choose to design and build in CSR
Hebel.
18. 25 Year guarantee
This is a
quality product backed by the largest bilding products
supplier in the Southern Hemisphere. You can rely on
it.
