Benex Panel System Overview
Benex Panel Wall & Floor Panel Systems are the ideal choice for home owners seeking thermal efficiency, acoustic performance, fire rating, ease of installation, and at the same time provide the unique quality of strength of a solid building product.
Benex panels are the lightweight alternative to traditional building products. One square meter of Benex Wall Panel weighs just 35kg, and yet has the solid feel of masonry. Its inherent strength means that no reinforcement is required, which makes cutting easy. When used as a flooring system for elevated flooring, the results are astounding. The solid nature of the system, and its excellent acoustic performance, virtually eliminates sound transmission between upstairs and downstairs living areas. Benex panels offer excellent thermal properties. When used in conjunction with other types of insulation, Benex Wall Panel Systems will achieve almost any thermal insulation requirement, the result of your home being warmer during winter and cooler in summer. The Benex Panel is 1200mm x 400mm x 35mm, and is packed on standard sized pallets for delivery. The efficiency of these dimensions means that the required amount for a typical home can be delivered on a single truck. Multiple deliveries are a thing of the past and this also results in additional cost savings.
