Laminated to a lightweight concrete panel created by a unique aerated clay process, Airstone is available in sizes up to three metres in length and 1.2 metres in width with seamless corner units. The weight of the systems at 50-60 kgs/m2 allows the panels to be installed as a rainscreen or within a curtain wall supported by a lightweight aluminium substructure.
Airstone panels have been tested to CWCT standards at the Taylor Woodrow laboratories in Leighton Buzzard to ensure compliance with the NHBC and Zurich test criteria applicable to rainscreen facades. These stand alongside the DiBT approval that is already held (the German equivalent of BBA certification).
When used in conjunction with Foamglas® recycled cellular glass insulation the system will offer remarkable characteristics of lifetime insulation stability, non-combustibility, waterproofing and sustainability of source for the ecologically aware specifier
