Hebel Matters

How Hebel PowerFloor contributes to a quieter family home

If you’re thinking about building or renovating your home, your choice of flooring is an important consideration for creating a comfortable and quiet living environment for you and your family.

Standard particleboard or timber flooring can lead to a range of problems, such as creaking floors, everyday noise transfer issues and the poor thermal performance of your home.

Children running around upstairs, teenagers listening to loud music and the television being left on in the living room are often unwelcome sounds that can easily carry from room to room and between levels.

Heat can also leak through traditional floors in winter and penetrate through them during summer – leaving you reliant on costly heating and cooling systems to stay comfortable.

Hebel PowerFloor is a highly versatile solid flooring system that delivers the thermal and acoustic benefits your family needs to enjoy your home to the fullest.

Hebel PowerFloor is a lightweight Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) flooring system, reinforced with corrosion protected steel mesh. The panels are easily installed over steel or timber joists. The result is an excellent solid base for just about any floor covering, installed faster and with less mess than concrete, and less waste than particleboard and timber flooring.

Director of home design company Solar Solutions Design, Darren Evans, believes so strongly in the value of Hebel PowerFloor that he has Hebel flooring in his own home. He particularly enjoys the acoustic properties Hebel delivers him and his family.

“We have five kids, and we can’t hear them when they’re upstairs. When people visit our home they ask if they are out when they are just upstairs!” he said.

Peter Zembis, Director of award-winning home builder E-con group, trusts Hebel PowerFloor in his projects as well as his own home. “I think Hebel floors are the best product on the market,” he said.

Independent testing shows that overall Hebel has a 30% lower environmental impact than concrete, making Hebel Powerfloor the sustainable choice for flooring and a sound investment for a peaceful home.
