Fire protection services company Fire Rating Solutions (FRS) is a recommended installer of Speed Panel which offers a fast and effective fire protective solution for a wide range of construction projects or building refits. Speed Panel is completely fire tested and certified by all NATA approved facilities including Exova Warringtonfire, Branz and CSIRO.

Speed Panel’s light weight composition, ease and speed of installation due to its “click in” technology have made it the product of choice with quality contractors, builders and developers. The product allows projects to finish quickly, completed with ease and speed. This allows other trades faster access resulting in projects being completed cheaper and earlier. FRS can install Speed Panels easily. Installers have the ability to construct from one side only and this makes all the difference in difficult situations.

With tongue and groove fittings, Speed Panel is a complete fire rated product ready for installation. Made from galvanised steel surrounding an aerated concrete core, when installed correctly, Speed Panel has a fire rating of up to -/120/120 up to 6.0m vertically and 4.5m horizontally unlimited in height. This makes Speed Panel one of the strongest lightweight building products available and an ideal solution for many projects.

Speed Panel can be used as the external cladding to create a weatherproof seal allowing the internal building components of a build project to be completed earlier. This offers a major advantage for many clients in terms of overall build timeline and budget.

FRS has used Speed Panel in many major projects including Eureka Tower, Royal Children’s Hospital, Crown Casino and Melbourne Convention Centre. Applications include duct shafts, air shafts, lift shafts, plant rooms, and lift wells, air plenum walls, vertical walls and apartment walls plus external applications such as boundary fire walls. At the Royal Children’s Hospital Speed Panel was used as fire and acoustic walls throughout the project including tall walls within the plant areas. Its ability to span large heights between structure and still provide fully certified fire and acoustic ratings complete with many penetrations it was an obvious choice for a hospital project.

Speed Panel’s thin design, acoustic properties, ease of installation plus fire rated performance standards that exceed BCA requirements means more developers and building owners find it satisfies their exacting requirements.
