UCO SolidWall Building System is an Agrément Certified Alternative Building Technology (ABT)consisting of UCO Flexabord, fixed onto SANS 517 designed assembled and erected Lightweight Steel Frame (LSF)and the core in filled with a lightweight concrete mix.
The system is an Innovative/Alternative Building Technology (ABT) which is a solid, non-load-bearing wall system suitable for residential, commercial and educational buildings.
The UCO SolidWall Building System is made up of UCO Flexabord fibre cement sheets that are fixed onto steel studs and infilled with a lightweight concrete mix. The system meets fire-rating, acoustic and thermal insulation, wet application impact strength and robustness requirements.
The UCO SolidWall Building System obtained its Agrément SA certification in September 2012.

Advantages
Light Weight - Fast Installation - Low Labour - No Plastering job -
Quality Wall Finish - Minimal Waste - Fire rated - IBS certified - Green Product
- FIRE RATED
Up to 4 hours according to British Standard (BS 476: Part 22) - LIGHT WEIGHT
Weight of walls is approximately 2-3 times lighter compared to brick walls. Density is 900-1300kg/m3. - FAST TRACK CONSTRUCTION
Easily and rapidly constructed, cutting down construction time and cost compared to traditional wall construction. - HIGH QUALITY WALL FINISHING
Wall is straight with smooth surfaces. - SURFACE FINISH VERSATILITY
Readily accepts a wide range of surface finishes, e.g. acrylic and emulsion paint, wall paper, ceramic tiles, marble, etc. - STRONG ANCHORAGE CAPACITY
- CLEANER AND SAFER CONSTRUCTION
Reduces messiness and thereafter easy to clean up at site. Also minimizes inconvenience to other trades compared to the labour-intensive conventional trade. - IMPACT RESSISTANT
Scuff-resistant, offering superior impact and abrasion resistance. - DURABLE
Immune to permanent water damage and impervious to high humidity/moisture. Also does not warp, crack or split easily. - THERMAL INSULATION
R value = 0.169 m2 K/W for 104mm thick walls. - SOUND INSULATION
Sound Transmission Class (STC) rating e.g. 104mm thick wall is 46 dB.
UCO SolidWall System vs Traditional- Lightweight infill mix reduces total structural building cost
- Extra Usable Spaces without compromising wall properties
- Cost saving for high walls
- IBS Status Company Verification by CIDB
- ISO 9001, 14001 & OHSAS 18001 Standards
- Bomba BS 476: Part 22
