Wonderwall from Hanson TiS is a factory manufactured, pre-assembled, modular, external brick wall panel system designed to be used in conjunction with framed building structures. At the heart of the system is a factory manufactured backer board of a layer of Styrofoam extruded polystyrene thermal insulation laminated to a brick slip carrier sheet. Hanson&amp;’s Brian Garrett says: &amp;“Many problems associated with traditional build can now be dramatically reduced or eliminated completely from the building programme.&amp;”<p></p><p> Installation time is reduced to just a fraction of that required to build a traditional brick wall; large individual panel sizes up to 12m in length minimise the number of joints needed. Panels also give excellent thermal performance, a 125 mm thick panel achieves a U-Value of 0.26 and wall heights up to 12m can be accommodated. </p><p> In the domestic market, modular construction is now claimed as a realistic alternative to traditional build. The Hanson TiS modular house, based on the concept of Wonderwall applied to an engineered structural steel frame, is designed to provide a fast and efficient alternative to traditional build and provides exceptional U-values. Garrett says: &amp;“Finished with solid floors, traditional joinery details and a tiled roof it&amp;’s virtually impossible to …
