Enviro AAC Panel Cladding System

With a working density of 650 kg/m3, Enviro panels are about one-fourth the density of concrete. Panels are easy to cut and quick to install for cost-effective cavity-based construction. The Enviro cladding system is suitable for all seismic and wind loadings around New Zealand when installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

Enviro panels are effective at absorbing noise, attaining an STL of 33dB for 1000Hz. The porous structure, combined with the panel’s mass, dampens mechanical vibration energy and sound, assisting with acoustic privacy and quieter spaces inside homes and offices.

The porous structure of Enviro provides an R-value of R.416. Although this must be derated by .45 for the cavity air gap, this rating helps the designer achieve a good wall thermal performance, making the system suitable for New Zealand climate zones from the warm north to the cool south.

Enviro panels are energy-efficient in production, with no pollutants created during manufacturing. The inert material is non-hazardous and does not emit harmful gases or vapours. All waste product at point of manufacture is recycled back into the production process. Mineral plaster at a thickness of 1–3mm is applied after panel installation.

To prevent water from entering, the Enviro Panel Cladding System comes with a complete flashing system for windows and doors. If water should penetrate, Enviro has a ventilated cavity system to allow moisture to dry out and weep holes for water to drain out.
