Q. I’ve heard it’s quicker to build in Hebel than other masonry products, is that true?

Q. Can I use Hebel to build my retaining walls?

Yes! However Hebel does not offer any standard solutions or designs, you will need to consult with your own qualified engineer to design a solution so that it can account for things such as waterproofing, drainage and soil & surcharge loading, which can be site specific.

Q. How do I care for the external surface of my Hebel home?

Hebel walls should be washed down as a minimum once a year with clean water. This process removes any dirt or other build-up that has gathered on the coating. Hebel recommends you follow the care and maintenance instructions from your render supplier.

Click here for the Dulux Care & Maintenance Guide for some useful information provided by Dulux AcraTex.

 

Q. I’ve built my house in Hebel – can I fix items like external lights or speakers to it?

We are often asked about how to secure fittings to Hebel walls – items such as light fittings, taps, downpipes, clotheslines, hot water services and hose reels.

It’s important to seek advice on your individual home from your builder or designer before drilling holes or securing any loads onto Hebel walls.

Using the right fitting for the relevant fixture will help avoid damage occurring to the wall.

Holes can be drilled in Hebel walls using a masonry drill bit fitted to a standard (not rotary hammer) drill. Once the penetration has been filled with the required cables or the like, the gap around the penetration should be filled with a reputable flexible sealant such as Sikaflex polyurethane sealant.

Below is a table which outlines what you need for common fixings to Hebel. Click to download

Fixing heavy and/or vibrating loads
Heavy or items such as gates, decks, pergolas, clothes lines, carports and basketball hoops can cause vibrations or excessive loads on Hebel walls.
The solution is fixing them to posts that are independent of the wall will ensure the load isn’t directly transferred to the Hebel panels or blocks.

Q. If I damage my Hebel wall, how do I repair it?

Surface knocks and scratches can be touched up with the same surface coating finish that was applied at construction, like any masonry wall. In the event you are unsure, contact your builder for advice.

If the damage extends beyond the coating system and into the Hebel wall, professional advice should be sought to ensure the damage has not compromised the integrity of the wall.
