STRUCTApanel Black: the Cost-Effective Temporary Hoarding solution

Project Completion Date: 2024

Project Highlights

A total of 270 sheets of STRUCTApanel H2 12mm Black were utilised as temporary hoarding at a construction site in Victoria.
Driven by the need for a more cost-effective product alternative to traditional plywood, the team opted for STRUCTApanel H2 12mm Black.
The pre-finished black panels eliminate the need for on-site painting or finishing, saving time and labor costs while ensuring a consistent, high-quality appearance. The smooth surface is also suitable for signage attachment, making it an ideal choice for temporary hoarding.

STRUCTApanel Black: the Cost-Effective Temporary Hoarding solution

Project Overview

Temporary hoarding is vital in construction, providing safety, security, and privacy, while also serving as a platform for communication and branding. For this Victoria project, Andrew from Impact Designer Homes chose STRUCTApanel H2 12mm Black supplied by AUW Building Supplies due to its exceptional cost competitiveness compared to other materials.

Andrew specifically highlighted his satisfaction with STRUCTApanel, stating, “I loved working with STRUCTApanel.” The combination of affordability and the convenience of pre-finished panels made it the ideal choice for this project. Not only did it address the critical needs for a durable and reliable temporary hoarding solution, but it also offered significant savings by eliminating the need for painting after installation.

Project Requirements

The project required a strong and durable temporary hoarding solution to enclose the site, ensuring public safety and protecting ongoing work.

The project demanded a cost-effective alternative to traditional plywood. The chosen material needed to deliver a balance between affordability and performance, providing significant savings without compromising quality.

The primary challenge was to find a material that was not only durable and structurally certified but also pre-finished and resistant to weather elements. By carefully evaluating their requirements, the builder could identify STRUCTApanel H2 12mm as the ideal solution, addressing all the critical needs for a temporary hoarding that enhances both safety and aesthetic appeal.

The Solution

STRUCTApanel H2 12mm proved to be the perfect material for the task. Its unique properties, including high performance and superior impact resistance, made it well-suited for demanding environments. The flat surface and smooth edges contributed to its suitability for hoarding applications, presenting a professional look at the construction site and enhancing the overall project presentation.

The black finish offers a large, visually appealing canvas for project marketing, making it ideal for displaying graphics, logos, and branding elements. Furthermore, STRUCTApanel is made from sustainably sourced materials, aligning with the growing focus on eco-friendly construction practices.

Installation was efficient and straightforward; panels were mounted onto a timber frame, then the entire hoarding was secured using hex head roofing screws and implemented 140mm top and bottom plates to enhance rigidity, ensuring zero flex in the structure. The lightweight nature of the panels allowed for easy handling and quick installation, reducing both labor time and costs.
