Lightweight Wall Panel

Get Quote

QUICKPANEL® is a lightweight, non-load-bearing wall system with a compressive strength range of approximately 350–500 psi. The panel consists of a cementitious core incorporating expanded polystyrene (EPS), vibro sand, proprietary QuickPanel additives, and is faced on both sides with durable fiber-cement boards for dimensional stability, surface durability, and resistance to water, fire, moisture and physical impact.

The panel components are integrally bonded using Rapidbind PRO-RS30 Proprietary Slurry, a specially formulated bonding material developed to provide strong adhesion between the fiber-cement facings and composite core, helping maintain panel integrity and consistent performance.
Its lightweight construction helps reduce wall dead load compared with heavier conventional masonry systems, while its composite configuration provides reliable resistance to moisture, fire exposure, and physical impact.

The insulated EPS composite core also helps reduce heat transfer and sound transmission, contributing to improved indoor thermal and acoustic comfort.

QUICKPANEL® is suitable for interior partitions, exterior walls, commercial and residential buildings, mass housing, warehouses, factories, and perimeter fencing, subject to the appropriate panel thickness, anchorage system, finishing details, and project-specific requirements.
