Strength: Standard Stramit panels will accept 1100 kgs loading without deformation. Panels can be used for self-supporting partitions and external walls up to 3.5 m high without structural frames. They have ample strength for use as roof decking to support workmen. They are resistant to termites and other vermin.

Fire resistant: Stramit panels do not harbour enough oxygen to support combustion. Unlike other composite building panels, Stramit contains no added resins, alcohol, turps or other chemicals which produce flammable vapors. Skim-plastered the panels are UK certified for half an hour. Flame spread Class O.

Thermal insulation: Because of its composition Stramit panels have excellent thermal insulation properties in comparison with other structural walling materials. Standard 58mm panels have a thermal conductivity of not more than K=0.102 W/mk and a thermal resistance of R=0.5882 m²/kW.

Sound insulation: The thickness and density of Stramit panels reduce noise level from one side to the other by an average of 35 db.

Density: The standard panel is produced to a density of 380 kg/m^3. Stramit panels can be produced to a density varying from 150kg/m³ for heat insulation to 600kg/m³ for sound insulation.

Electrical conduits: Panels are normally produced with 22 mm diameter service holes at 300 mm centres to accept electrical wiring. Board can also be produced without electrical conduits. To fit electrical power outlets, a high speed router should be used for recessing and grooving.

Resistance to damage: Unlike gypsum board, Stramit panels can be handled like timber and be cut with a hand-held power saw or a hand saw with wide teeth setting. They are not easily damaged or broken in transit and can also be glued, nailed or drilled and will accept render, plaster, paint and wall paper.

Space saving: Compared with partitioning systems using brickwork, blockwork, studwork and gypsum board, Stramit panels can save considerable amounts of space.

Finish: Panels can be produced with both square or tapered edges. Standard panels are produced with recycled paper surface but specialist finishes can also be provided.
