WeatherPan is a sandwich panel designed for external and internal non load-bearing partition applications. Its weight is only 1/5 to 1/7 of traditional 120mm block wall, which greatly reduce the foundation costs and transportation costs and is suitable for fast track construction techniques with simple erection. The panel is easy to install and no skilled labor is required. In average, an experienced labor can install 25 m2 panels per day which is 15 times quicker than traditional block wall erection.

WeatherPan provides the benefits of masonry wall without incurring the additional costs of labour and time in wet trade plastering. The panels when joined together not just provide a smooth surface to receive skim coat but also maintain an excellent integrity of the partition making its impact resistance 1.5 times better than that of traditional block wall. A 75mm thick panel will provide the required fire rating, acoustic performance, water tightness and physical strength of a 120mm blockwall which in return increase the usable area by minimum 5-10%.

WeatherPan is 100% asbestos free and is a breathing panel which helps in condensation control. The panel is manufactured to ISO 9001 quality management system and has obtained the China Environmental Labeling Award issued by China National Environment Protection Bureau, the most stringent requirement in manufacturing business.

WeatherCore which is a lightweight concrete mix of Portland cement, expanded polystyrene bead aggregates and admixture. The sandwich panel is 100% asbestos free and the manufacturing process including mixing and casting are fully controlled by a central processor.

WeatherPan is designed with tongue and groove jointing systems for easy assembly. The panel provides exceptional dimensional stability and an unrivalled resistance to movement due to effects of moisture or heat. When subject to fire attack above 1200°C, the panel wall provides fire resistance up to 3.5 hours without loosing integrity and insulation and will not emit toxic gas. The panel is immune to insect and will not support fungal growth and is unaffected by sunlight and steam.

WeatherPan possess all the benefit of masonry wall but is a pure dry trade system which provides a clean working site conditions. The panel is ready to receive screws and nails for fixing wardrobes and furniture. The average anchorage load is above 45 kg per screws. The panel can be decorated by painting, tiling, papering and wood veneering. WeatherPan will not degrade with time and within normal applications, the life of the product is limited only by the durability of the building. WeatherPan is off white in color and has a high quality smooth finish on both faces.

When construction of curved wall or where using precast WeatherPan units are limited. WeatherPan-S, a field applied partition system can be erected on site with in-situ grouting of WeatherCore. The system has the same performance of WeatherPan and for further information, Please contact the Sales Department of Better Building Products Pty Ltd. WeatherPan composes of 4.5mm thick WeatherPro fibre cement/ calcium silicate board facings with
