R9 WA

The potential R9 Greenwall offers to projects and developments are extensive. The product offers many advantages including:

• Load Bearing – Multi Level
• Lightweight construction
• Cyclone rated
• Compliance with BCA/NCC 2012
• High insulation value



REDUCED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT

The material components of the R9 Greenwall have a low environmental impact in particular polyurethane. Polyurethane foam is a very versatile material which offers a closed cell structure which encapsulates high insulation. This is the primary reason for its very efficient insulation to thickness ratio which saves space and materials while achieving high insulation values.

Used in the correct application polyurethane can be an effective insulator which can significantly improve the energy efficiency of buildings and reduce the need for heating and cooling which results in lower carbon emissions. The long term durability and high performance of polyurethane means that the material has a longer life than other building materials making its contribution to energy conversation higher. The energy consumption used for its production is relatively low which significantly contributes to the conservation of energy and resources.

No CFCs, HCFCs or formaldehyde is used in the production or manufacture of R9 Greenwall. The strength, life span and insulation properties of R9 are all characteristics that reduce detrimental environmental impacts.

COST EFFICIENCY

Ongoing increases in the costs of construction are resulting in a large number of Australian families being excluded from building and owning their own home. R9 Greenwall was developed to provide Australian families with a high quality affordable alternative to modern and traditional building materials and techniques. The product is easy to transport, lightweight and simple to assemble on-site, regardless of where your construction site may be.

FASTER CONSTRUCTION TIMES

Utilising the R9 Greenwall installation as oppose to standard Brickworks/Block work/Concrete or Timber Frames, the timesaving made on the structure installation also has a positive affect on the timescale of the internal fit out works.

When built by an experienced crew, wall sections (approximately 3.5sqm) can be erected in 10 minutes effectively saving days of construction time. A standard four-by-two bedroom house can be at lockup stage in four weeks.

LIMITED NEED FOR ‘WET TRADES’

The use R9 Greenwall eliminates time consuming and costly wet trades. For example, internal walls do not require internal plastering – joints are taped, filled, sanded and painted. The exterior can be finished using a render coat, plaster, cladding or paint finish.

CONSISTENT SOLID FEEL

The Polyurethane core expands at 3000 pounds per square inch during the manufacturing process. The resulting internal pressure exerted on the exterior of the panels results in a consistent, solid “feel” comparable to most masonry products currently in use.

HIGH ENERGY RATING (R VALUE, INSULATION)

Polyurethane has more than double the insulation rating for roof batts making it the best insulating panel commercially available to the building industry. The same technology is currently in use to insulate above ground gas pipes and very thin freezer panels which require maximum insulation incorporated in stylish design.

STRENGTH

R9 Greenwall is not only able to bear high weight loadings, external load resistance from wind and precipitation Strength testing was undertaken by the University of Western Australia Civil Engineering Department on both 93 and 210mm panels (each in isolation). Both panel satisfied requirements for cyclonic impact testing for AS1170.0 (Wind Loading Code) and the Building Code of Australia.
