Because our panels have a foam center, changing electrical and plumbing runs to other locations is an easy task.
A DGB structure is a lightweight shell and therefore does not require a heavy foundation design.
DGB create additional warm living space in the roof by eliminating conventional trusses. This can provide an additional 25% of floor space at no additional cost and makes use of all of the potential space in the building.
Our panels come in 8” thick for the exterior walls, 6 or 4” thick for interior walls depending on your energy efficiency requirements and/or engineer's recommendations. I mproved insulation values, gaining greater internal space for the same size overall footprint. Unbeatable insulation value means energy costs can be reduced by up to 60% over conventional construction.
Structural superiority has been proven by independent testing. Point loads can be dispersed through the monolithic structure.
DGB walls are better for your builder. Pre-cut and fabricated panels reduce installation time by 60%. The building process requires less skilled labor and less supervision. Specialized tools are not required and fixed pricing allows budgets to remain accurate.
The Special Concrete structure provides a continuous surface that compliments support structure ribs fixing of services, lights and kitchen cabinet units.
A DGB structure will form the hidden shell of the building. The external walls can then be finished in many ways because the panels are coated with a special flexible concrete coating called gfrc; you have an enormous choice of surface materials to choose from. These can include traditional facing brick work, timber cladding, stone veneer or stucco systems. Internal walls are normally finished with your choice . Roofs are finished as normal with battens and tiles, although the inherent strength of a DGB roof does not require the same weight of finish as a conventional vented roof. This can allow the use of a lightweight roof finish if desired.
