Intertenancy and Party Walls

Ideal for Town House developments

Hebel’s PowerPanel50 Intertenancy Wall Systems use the revolutionary 50mm thick steel reinforced Hebel AAC panels manufactured in 2.4, 2.55, 2.7, 2.85 and 3 metre lengths.

Starting at a wall width of just 230mm wide, these Hebel systems maximise floorspace with 70mm separation between stud frames across all systems.

Installed vertically, panels are positioned quickly and easily in the Hebel Deflection Head Track for base connection and are fixed to timber or steel frames using aluminium brackets for discontinuous construction.

• Simple system that achieves fire ratings of up to FRL 90/90/90. The Hebel panel provides the fire rating performance
• Fast and easy to build, needs minimal accessories compared to other intertenancy/party wall systems
• Doesn’t require the installation of fire-rated plasterboard between floor levels at joists and in the roof space
• Strong, solid, reinforced internal walling system – high intertenancy security
• Highly resistant to weather so can be installed in damp conditions
• Narrow system wall width – starting at 230mm – with 70mm separation between stud frames across all systems
• CodeMark CM40164

For projects where 75mm thick Hebel PowerPanellXL is wanted or needed, you’ll benefit from high levels of acoustic performance and the same high fire rating performance of the PowerPanel50 Intertenancy Wall Systems.

Floors

Hebel flooring systems offer exceptional benefits for multi-residential properties, delivering the solid feel of a concrete floor at a lower cost.

The Hebel PowerFloor system consists of 75mm panels containing steel reinforcement with an anti-corrosion protection layer, to ensure maximum strength and durability.  These panels are installed over steel or timber joists to provide an outstanding flooring solution for suspended ground floors or midfloors with excellent thermal and acoustic performance.  Once finished, the Hebel PowerFloor system provides a solid base for just about any floor covering.

The Hebel PowerFloor+ flooring system is a loadbearing reinforced flooring system that can span up to 5.85 metres and provides a solid, fully engineered cross-braced floor for residential construction.  Lightweight, yet strong, and offering enhanced insulation, this system can be laid in place without formwork or support and is trafficable immediately following installation.  The interlocking of the panels with grout creates a full fire seal between panels, and combined with Hebel’s unique fire resistant properties, it can mean the PowerFloor+ system can achieve FRL’s of up to 3 hours.  Once finished, the floor provides a solid base for a range of floor coverings.

FAQ's

Q. Why is Hebel the superior choice when it comes to building boundary or intertenancy walls?

At Hebel, there is a focus on delivering high-quality products, innovation and high standards of production.  This has enabled Hebel to stand out as a supplier of AAC, and the only Australian manufacturer of AAC.

More recently, Hebel has developed a patented hoisting solution, making it much easier to install boundary and intertenancy walls in areas with limited access.  The ‘Hebel Hoist’ reduces safety risks associated with manual lifting and handling, and improves project efficiency by letting you complete all the dwelling frames at once, saving a minimum of day’s work per wall. Installing with Hebel Hoist also has the potential of increasing the floor area and value of your project because it gives builders the ability to build right up to the boundary without having to leave a gap for scaffolding.

Importantly installation via our Hebel Hoist process ensures that each back to back boundary wall is installed without encroaching the neighbouring boundary and without compromise to meeting fire, acoustic and weather tightness performance. Our Hebel hoist has enabled us to achieve what is near impossible using conventional techniques on site.

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

Building with Hebel means faster construction without sacrificing on quality.  Installing one Hebel panel is the equivalent to laying 75 bricks, which means a 150m2 home can be go up as quickly as 3 days when installed by experienced Hebel installers.  Hebel makes the construction process quicker, with less onsite mess and wastage, which is why it is increasingly becoming the builder’s choice.

Q. I’m looking to build a boundary fence for my development, is there a suitable Hebel product for that application?

Hebel PowerFence is an innovative solid masonry fencing system that is versatile, easy to install, and modern in its look and finish.  Perfect for boundary fencing it can be painted or rendered and acts as a reflective noise barrier system.  It’s non-combustible, making it perfect for bushfire zones. The steel in Hebel panels are coated with an anti-corrosion protection layer steel for to ensure maximum strength and high durability.

Q. What’s the benefit of using Hebel PowerFloor as my flooring system?

Hebel PowerFloor is a great choice of flooring solution with it’s high-performing acoustic and thermal benefits.  This means less noise between floors and none of the squeak or bounce associated with particleboard flooring.  Hebel PowerFloor can be easily installed by onsite tradesman such as carpenters and sits well beneath any floor covering such as tiles, carpets or strip timber flooring.

Q. Does Hebel just come in blocks and standard panels?  What if I need special length panels?

The Hebel PowerPanel and PowerPanelXL range, suitable for use in residential projects, is available in a number of standard sizes, which are generally available for delivery within 24-48 hours of an order being placed.

The PowerPanelXL range of 75mm, single mesh panels can also be made to order in 5mm increments between 1800mm and 3300mm, with options of a square edge or tongue in groove profile.

Hebel can also design and manufacture panels to meet a variety of structural loads and applications. All design loads and engineering requirements for the design of structural Hebel panels must be provided by your engineer.

Q. I need technical advice on whether Hebel is suitable for my project; does Hebel offer that service?

CSR Hebel is Australia’s only manufacturer of AAC with over 30 years of experience in designing and developing AAC systems for Australian buildings.  This affords Hebel decades of technical expertise and experience in delivering high-quality products and systems that makes building with Hebel efficient and low-risk.  Our teams of qualified engineers and subject-matter experts can provide a range of services for your next project including assistance with overall review including layout , design considerations, estimating,  and assistance with scheduling and logistics.

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. 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.

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.
