Envirecowall - A Unique Fire-Resistant Eco-House Building System
Made in the UK, EnviroEcoWall is a pre-engineered, insulated, load bearing panel system designed to form a fireproof building envelope, a modern method of construction that is perfect for new build domestic, commercial and industrial projects.
Not just another SIP
As the need for eco-friendly, cost-effective building methods becomes ever greater, Enviro Eco Wall Panels was established to manufacture a pre-engineered, insulated, load bearing panel system designed to form a fireproof building envelope. A modern method of construction that is perfect for new build houses, bungalows, garden offices, industrial projects, student accommodation and temporary accommodation units.
This unique system combines structure and insulation into one prefabricated, thermally efficient component. Not only are EnviroEcoWall Panels protected from fire by Envirograf intumescent coatings, the buildings are also designed to cope with flooding as they are constructed on a unique metal sub-frame that can carry the structure from 150mm to any height off the ground. In addition to protecting the building and its contents from flooding, this system also negates the need for the large concrete slabs that are required for other building methods.
Why use Enviro Eco Wall Panels?
Literally, at the very core of each EnviroEcoWall panel is our non-combustible insulation slab - a durable and stable high-density material that provides excellent fire protection and, thanks to its tightly woven fibres that help to reduce the transfer of heat and sound, great acoustic properties and outstanding thermal performance.
Fire Safety - Our development testing included setting fire to a fully furnished house, starting one fire in a first-floor bedroom and a second fire in the ground floor living room. During the test, invited guests we able to walk around inside the house whilst the fires were still alight. Such testing has shown that, should a fire occur in one room, the amazing fire-resistant properties of the EnviroEcoWall panel system are able to contain the fire, stop the spread to other rooms and eventually force the fire to extinguish itself. This successful fire limitation and the absence of water damage, repair and renovation is quick, easy and, therefore, much more economical.
Once the burnt furnishings were cleared from the test house, the electrical fittings and top plasterboard coverings were removed and quickly replaced. Our intumescent protection meant that new sections of cable could simply be pulled through and connected to new fittings. Any damage to glazing was rectified before final decoration making the house ready for speedy re-occupation within just a few hours – and not even the smell of burning remains.
Heat & Sound - The panels have been extensively tested to evaluate their performance in insulating against the transmission of heat and sound. Air leakage associated with traditional construction and timber frame is virtually eliminated when using EnviroEcoWall Panels thanks to the large format nature of the panels and the resulting small number of joints in the structure. These highly energy-efficient buildings have minimal need for heating which can mean lower energy bills.
Flood Protection - Our Eco-House is constructed on a purpose-built steel sub frame that helps to protect the superstructure and building contents from damage caused by flooding. Additionally, should prevailing weather conditions become more severe over a longer period of time, the height of the sub frame can be increased to permanently raise the entire building, even after construction!
Speed of construction - Strict quality control during our off-site fabrication process ensures dimensional accuracy, helps reduce build time and minimises waste on site. A weatherproof building shell can be complete just a few days after the groundworks are ready to receive the panels.
Eco-friendly - EnviroEcoWall panels are fabricated using timber from sustainable sources. They use less timber than standard timber framing and are one of the most economical and eco-friendly forms of construction. Their high insulation and airtightness reduce the major sources of building energy use.
