Benefits to integrating aesthetic and practical ISP walling into your home

Whether you are renovating, adding an extension, or building a new home, there are many benefits of installing ISP walling for your next project.

More and more, Australian homeowners are considering Insulated Sandwich Panels (ISPs) for walling solutions in their homes.

Not only do these panels offer improved energy efficiency for increased comfort year-round and lower power bills—they give your house the architectural beauty and durable finishes of stunning designer homes seen in programs like Open Homes Australia.

Bondor® products offer you the freedom of creativity with the assurance of an Australian-made, insulated panelling solution that balances your personal aesthetics with structural integrity, versatility, and sustainability at its core.

What are Insulated Sandwich Panels (ISPs)?

Bondor® ISPs consist of outer BlueScope® COLORBOND® steel sheets, bonded to a central insulating core.

The properties of the insulated panel mean that the product can span further, resist higher loads, and reduce or remove the need for structural framework. This simple, all-in-one

Australian made product uses BlueScope Steel combined with core materials designed to achieve specific thermal & structural standards.

Bondor® offers LuxeWall® and InsulWall®, two different ISP walling panels, with Mineral Wool and EPS-FR cores, delivering the widest range of core thicknesses, colours, finishes and profiles.

While both LuxeWall® and InsulWall® share versatile, durable, and thermal properties, depending on your unique project and home, their application may vary.

LuxeWall® represents the pinnacle of sophistication and functionality in a wall cladding solution. It uses a concealed fixing system designed for secure attachment to steel or timber stud frames for a lightweight and aesthetic finish.

This product embodies luxury living, with an unparalleled combination of elegance, energy efficiency and durability.

InsulWall® is load bearing, structural insulated wall panel. It has been developed in conjunction with BlueScope Steel® and Dulux Acratex to offer a building technology alternative to monolithic traditional building methods.

Whether you are looking to renovate, add an extension, or build a new home, there are many benefits of installing ISP walling for your next residential project.

Elegant and versatile facades for architectural good looks

If it’s a sleek metallic or a soft matte finish you’re after, the Bondor® LuxeWall® range delivers brilliant and alluring panelling options with COLORBOND® steel finishes. The combination of a COLORBOND® finish means that the panels will maintain their architectural good looks and luxury finishes over time, offering a durable and low maintenance option for any home.

Available in different orientations and configurations, the LuxeWall® colour palette includes a range of trending architectural finishes and are available in different profiles to achieve your design aspirations.

Alternatively, Bondor’s InsulWall® is a structural walling option which is load bearing allowing customer to choose between a range of COLORBOND® finishes and offering unique features such as:

  • a preformed rebated joint for setting plaster
  • a continuous coated surface for painting internally using Dulux Wash & Wear, and rendering externally using Dulux Acratex

Ease of construction to get you in your home more quickly

Nothing is more disheartening than hearing there has been another delay standing between you and the completion of your dream home.

Whether it is a delay due to trade or materials availability, the building industry in Australia has been significantly hit by a limited talent and skills pool and severe nation-wide materials shortage, increasing overall costs of construction.

The solution that ISPs present for your home is an overall reduction of costs, labour, and materials. Prefabricated, lightweight, and easily transportable, Bondor® panels simplify and streamline construction. That means shorter wait for you, and smaller construction bill.

Warmer winters and cooler summers for overall improved energy efficiency

While it isn’t always ‘front of mind’ when approaching your home build or renovation, the costs associated with heating and cooling your home should factor into your decision making when it comes to the materials used on your home project.

ISPs have gained popularity over the past couple of years due to the thermal properties they provide a home—ensuring cooler summers and warmer winters where families don’t have to touch the air conditioner.

The insulating properties of the Bondor® cores, together with an airtight joint, makes LuxeWall® and InsulWall® an ideal energy efficient solution for those looking to make their home and energy consumption more sustainable.

Specifically, the use of LuxeWall® reduces energy usage for heating and cooling due to its superior thermal performance and airtight joint.

Not only does the end result look great, but the InsulWall® panels lock easily together, and when coupled with SolarSpan® roofing, they form a complete thermal envelope to support your energy efficiency goals.
