ePanel: High performance modular wall panel made from 100% recycled material, and 100% recyclable by us at Panel2Panel Ltd.
We are a team of experienced construction professionals, particularly experienced in off-site manufacture. We had gone through years of development of our off-site modular systems, but still found that we were essentially using old technology albeit put together in a new way. So we were still constrained to the old limitations of the materials, i.e: - Poor sustainability credentials - Degradation due to moisture - Double-handling of materials (i.e complex assembly in a factory followed by erection site) So what we did was embark on a journey to create a totally new material to serve our off-site needs and address these limitations. It has taken a huge amount of work and investment but we have achieved what we wanted in ePanel.
ePanel is a load-bearing modular walling system made from 100% recycled materials and we can recycle it at the end of the life of the building. ePanel is 100% inert to moisture, retaining all of its properties when wet or even fully submerged in water and as such does not harbour mould or bacteria growth like wood. ePanel is a monolithic panel onto which fixtures can be simply screwed into the material, with no noggins, studwork or patresses required.
As a by-product of these objectives, ePanel also has excellent thermal and acoustic properties.
We found that our material was so good, we didn’t want to limit its use to our own projects, but feel that we must offer it to everyone who fabricates modular and off-site systems and wants to do it in a high performance and sustainable fashion.
