Repair, Re-inforcement and Insulation
A new skin made of JK STRUCTURE Panels, when fitted against the existing wall and injected with lightweight concrete, is ideally suited to the repair of old or damaged houses and buildings.
The repaired building benefits from improved thermal and sound insulation, bearing in mind it is now stronger than before.
The JK STRUCTURE System is also utilised to improve the thermal insulation of buildings without loss of usable space or damage to decoration inside the house.
Larger or High-Rise Buildings
In the case of higher residential, office and commercial / industrial buildings (generally beyond 4 Floors), it becomes more economical to use load bearing Steel or Concrete beams than to build with JK STRUCTURE load bearing walls.
The fact is, today most "higher" buildings and even more so high-rise buildings, are generally composed of a load-bearing steel or steel-reinforced concrete structure, and sometimes a combination of both.
Such structures are then "wrapped-in" for the external walls and "filled-in" for the bearing and the non-bearing walls / partitions, with floors, ceilings and roofs. These areas are built using various materials and methods such as bricks, concrete blocks, cast / pre-cast concrete panels, slabs and prefabricated elements or panels of all kinds.
In such buildings, the use of JK STRUCTURE Panels for the external and internal walls / partitions, floors, ceilings and roofs considerably improves the:
- quality of the construction
- economics
- construction time
- comfort of its inhabitants, whether residential or commercial
Structural Benefits
From a structural point of view, and from the point of view of its inhabitants, JK STRUCTURE Panels improve the structural resistance and integrity of high-rise buildings due to:
- The lightweight concrete of JK STRUCTURE Walls weighs 4 to 5 times less than bricks or concrete
- The intimate interconnection that is achieved between the JK STRUCTURE Panels and the load-bearing structure of the building
- Provides resistance to earthquakes and eliminates the risk from falling bricks or blocks
