SPANDREL PANELS
Spandrel panels are becoming increasingly popular with house builders and self builders.
The benefits of SpandRel Panels
Quicker erection time
Installing a pre manufactured spandrel panel will save hours of bricklaying time. There is also no requirement for waiting for blockwork to cure before roof installation.
Cost Saving
Using spandrel panels can eliminate the need for roof trusses at the gable wall as tiling laths and ceiling plasterboard can be more easily fixed to the timber frame structure that a traditional blockwork gable. Scaffolding costs are also reduced.
Single trade solution
Using a single trade to manufacture the roof trusses and spandrel panels saves the need to liase with multiple trades and guarantees accuracy in lining through.
Safety
By speeding up the erection time of the gable end means less time is spent by workers at height reducing the risk of falls and accidents.
SpandRel / Gable Panels
Spandrel and gable panels are becoming increasingly popular with house builders and self builders. They consist of a pre manufactured panel which replaces the internal blockwork of a gable end and/or party wall.
Gable panels are manufactured as a simple frame with OSB sheathing on the outer face as a structural panel. Spandrel panels are clad with 1 or 2 sheets of plasterboard or Fermacell to create fire protection. Spandrel panels can also be core insulated when they are used in an attic roof.
