advantages

The aforementioned construction process is easy to learn and means that Specwall panels require fewer labour hours to install. Time and motion studies carried out on previous works show that by using Specwall as a blockwork replacement or alternative to a Steel Framing Systems (SFS), you can reduce labour hours needed for installation by more than 55%.

One of the major advantages enjoyed by Specwall is its manufactured nature which has allowed us to develop a modular single-visit construction process. This easy-to-install system can meet almost any requirement and any situation, reducing your programme time. All joints are bonded and filled with grout and taping and jointing can be requested by the client. The wall can have finishes applied directly, including tiles, skim and paint, and timber pattressing is not required with our system.

Specwall’s all-in-one manufactured nature, the speed of installation, its resistance to damage and its versatility can add up to serious cost savings across a site. Not including other cost savings, replacing traditional blockwork, SFS plasterboard systems with Specwall can have a significant impact on your expenditure.

Specwall is a cementitious product, and is not affected or damaged by water or other wet scenarios that could affect other traditional systems, and does not promote mould growth. This means that Specwall panels can be installed at any stage of construction, from the initial structural works before the building is water tight all the way through to the final stages, with no negative impact.

Specwall is modular, provided in 3m lengths and cut on site. The off cuts are then used to form part of the next module reducing waste compared with other traditional drylining systems especially when forming door openings. Specwall is a demountable and relocatable system subject to finishes used. Specwall can contribute to achieving your desired BREEAM rating and an EPD for our A2 panel is available on request. 

Specwall can reduce the number of wall types on site and the number of trades you need to fit into the overall construction programme. Our single-visit process includes the installation of all panels. Pipes cables and conduits can be installed off site ahead of arrival, or on-site by chasing or drilling down our panel with Specwall equipment and installing conduits.
