Aerocon Panel Structures

Constructed with lightweight yet robust Aerocon panels, these structures boast superior thermal insulation and fire resistance.
Aerocon Panel Structures

Overview

Aerocon panels combine a lightweight concrete core with fibre-cement facings — giving the solidity of masonry at a fraction of the weight and build time. The result: fire-resistant, acoustically quiet structures that feel permanent, yet go up in days.

Why it works

Built around how you’ll use it.

  • 01

    Fire resistant

    Non-combustible cement-based panels add a meaningful margin of safety.

  • 02

    Masonry feel

    Solid, quiet walls that can be painted, tiled or finished like conventional construction.

  • 03

    Thermal & acoustic

    Insulating core reduces heat transfer and sound transmission between spaces.

  • 04

    Dry construction

    Minimal wet work on site — cleaner, faster and more predictable builds.

Configurations

Sized to the brief.

  • Classrooms and training rooms

    Single or multi-room blocks on a steel frame, with Aerocon walls that can be painted or tiled and a roof chosen for heat and rain.

  • Clinics and health units

    Quiet, solid-walled rooms that are easy to clean, with partitions, washrooms and electrical provisions laid out around the services the facility offers.

  • Site accommodation and canteens

    Labour housing, mess halls and utility blocks where fire resistance and a solid feel matter, built with minimal wet work on site.

  • Roof options

    Colour-coated sheet for simple, economical roofs, or PUF roof panels where a cooler interior is needed.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

What is an Aerocon panel?

An Aerocon panel is a sandwich of fibre-cement boards with a lightweight concrete core. It gives the solid, quiet feel of a masonry wall at a fraction of the weight, and it is installed dry on a steel or LGS frame.

Are Aerocon structures fire resistant?

The panels are cement-based and non-combustible, which adds a meaningful margin of safety compared with many lightweight materials. If your project requires a specific fire rating, share it with us and we will specify accordingly.

Can Aerocon walls be painted or tiled?

Yes. They can be puttied and painted, tiled in wet areas or finished with cladding, so the building looks and feels like conventional construction.

How does Aerocon compare with PUF panels?

PUF gives better insulation for its thickness and is preferred for cold rooms and hot-climate offices. Aerocon gives a more solid, masonry-like wall with good fire and acoustic performance. Our guide on PUF vs Aerocon vs LGS explains the trade-offs.

What foundation does an Aerocon building need?

A plinth or footing designed for the steel frame, usually lighter than for a brick building of the same size. Foundation details depend on soil and the number of storeys and are confirmed with the drawings.
