MASTERWALL – THE DESIGNERS DREAM!!!!
The MasterWall Innovative Polystyrene Cladding System can offer greater design flexibility than other cladding products. No other cladding product can claim such a wide range of benefits:
• Energy efficiency
• Unlimited design flexibility
• Economy
• Only the best EIF Systems have the capacity to let designers create without compromise and builders to construct quickly, effectively and economically whilst ensuring a minimal carbon footprint.
• MasterWall EIFS has the flexibility to ensure that your professional skills won’t be constrained by product limitations.
• Studies in the US have shown that EIFS are the best performing wall system and “out performed all other walls in terms of moisture while maintaining superior thermal performance” – Oak Ridge National Laboratory Research.
• MasterWall EIFS offers virtually limitless colours, textures and virtually any shape or design that would be cost prohibitive using conventional construction i.e decorative accents, arches, columns etc.
• Thermal bridging, pressure equalization, condensation, moisture must be addressed when considering building design – MasterWall EIFS provides cost effective and efficient design solutions to these problems.
• High thermal properties can allow specification of lower capacity heating, air conditioners, windows etc.
• The system is designed to be flexible, which makes it highly crack-resistant. When walls expand and contract, EIFS are resilient enough to absorb building movement thus avoid cracking problems so common with brick etc.
• Lighter weight and faster to install – allowing for potential savings in footings and structural steel, as well as on construction time itself. Overall its lightweight construction and flexibility opens up many opportunities for a diverse range of construction methods to be utilized within the one project.
• Lightweight construction has impressive impact resistance, including a high degree of compressive and flexural strength and dimensional stability, which provides opportunities for innovation in design and construction.
• Economic Benefits and design flexibility arise from its no cavity to frame construction which can increase a typical floor area of a typical two storey building by up to 10m2.
