Modular Wall Systems

"Thanks for everything many comments on the wall one said it is the classiest fence in the street and has great street front appeal and we have had many guys walk into the yard just to check out the fence and how it is made. One guy said we should conduct tours as it looks so posh he he. Once again many thanks. Best thing I ever did."

Does the wall provide noise insulation?
Yes, it will provide excellent results from all forms of noise. Noise reduction is very height dependent thus the higher the wall the better the results (as with any form of wall). *National Acoustic Laboratory tested.

What is the difference between Contemporary, Traditional and Estate walls?
All have different size posts with Traditional and Estate style walls using a thicker wall panel. See the specifications link for a detailed description.

How high can I have a wall?
Contemporary wall styles range from 0.9m - 2.1m, Traditional wall styles range from 0.9m - 3.0m, Estate wall styles range from 0.9m - 3.0m, Barrier walls 3.0m - 4.5m. Wind regions A & B. Please call us for specific wind region C specs.

What finish can I have? And do the panels come pre finished?
The panels and posts come in a 'raw' primed state ready to accept any finish. The wall can be Painted, Rendered, Texture Painted - See sample finishes for a detailed description. Extensive research and testing in conjunction with Dulux Australia has been carried out.

Who can install it?
It can be installed by our Agents, a Fencing contractor or the competent DIY person. Free technical advice is offered 24/7. An instructional DVD and printed instructions are available.

How long does it take to put a wall up?
On average 2 people can put up 20-25m of 1.8m high traditional wall per day.

How much concrete will I use?
We recommend you use bagged quick set or post hole mix concrete if you are a DIY customer.

A contemporary wall at an average 1.8m high will require approx 60 kg per posthole.
A Traditional wall at an average 1.8m high will require approx 60-80 kg per posthole.
An Estate wall at an average 1.8m high will require approx 80kg per posthole.

Do I need council approval?
Every council is different & you should consult your local council. As the wall doesn't use strip footings generally you will only need to comply with their relevant height regulations which can be found on their web sites.
If your local council has any questions we would be happy to assist.

What warranty does the wall have?
If installed by a recommended installer or in accordance with the fitting instructions the wall and all associated components are covered against product failure for 10 years.

How strong is the wall?
The wall panels have a strong laminated fibre cement face that has great resistance to impacts. Any severe impact that may bruise the wall can be easily repaired with exterior grade filler. The walls have been engineered to cope with up to wind region D wind speeds (Australia's highest wind region)

Can things be attached or hung off the wall?
Yes, you can attach most things that would normally be attached to a masonry wall such as exterior art or Bali style hanging designs etc please contact us for exact fixing methods.

Can letter boxes be inserted?
Yes, Estate style posts can accept a letterbox that was designed to suit a standard single brick wall. All other wall styles a letter box can be recessed into the wall panel (see Garden walls gallery for examples)

Does the wall have to be painted immediately?
No, all the materials used are exterior grade and the steel components galvanized and primed. We recommend though that you seal and paint the wall within 6 months of installation.

BARRIER WALLS

What is the maximum wall height?
Our standard range of Barrier walls go up to 4.5m in height. We have built and engineered walls up to 6m in height. Walls over 4.5m are designed on a job by job basis so please just ask!

Can the BARRIER walls be installed by our own builder?
Yes, we offer a comprehensive installation guide and technical support. We can also offer a member of our team to attend the start of the installation to assist in set out and pass on any relevant trade secrets.
That said it is normally more cost effective for our factory installation team to perform the installation as we would expect to erect a wall twice as quick as a first timer.

Does the soil type, terrain category and wind region effect the installation spec?
We will supply a site specific installation specification for most Barrier wall installations which will state exact footing dimensions required based upon the wind region, soil type and terrain category.
All things are generally possible so we relish the challenge of any out of the ordinary or difficult installation requirements.

Can the walls be installed in remote areas?
We have agents in most areas of Australia and our factory Barrier wall installation team will travel anywhere. We have installed tall walls in remote areas of country NSW and mining camps in Newman W.A.
