Introduction

Use MIB Panablok Panels and save 20% on your façade substrate cost (when compared with an equivalent SFS, CP Board, insulation within studs and an internal board). In a like for like comparison.

 

MIB Panablok is able to offer the construction industry an innovative, structurally insulated infill panel that is installed as soon as the mainframe and slab have been completed.

 

When compared to cold rolled steel frame systems, MIB Panablok’s insulated panel offers air tightness and superior weather proofing for 80% of the cost.

 

Advantages include:

  • The panels fit from slab to soffit allowing each level to be completed independently. This is not the case for SFS, as metal is installed. Then the cement particle board needs to span the slabs from floor to floor.
  • Can be installed from within the building without the need for external scaffolding until the façade is fitted. This gives a weather tight envelope.
  • The saving on access is kept by the client.
  • Eliminates site waste.
  • Panels are able to receive a variety of façades finishes.
  • In an independent study an identical section of Panablok was installed 30% quicker than SFS and CP Board.
  • Lightweight construction.
  • Superior U value achieved 0.4 W/m2K.
  • Nationwide certified direct labour force.
  • Life expectancy of 60 years.
