FAST FACTS ON ASBS AND PANELISED HOMES

Panelised buildings consist of factory produced wall panels built to conventional building regulations. In an "open wall" panelized system, the kind produced by American Standard Building; Systems, exterior sheathing is applied in the factory to the stud wall, leaving a totally open interior wall partition for inspection by local building officials. Insulation, wiring, plumbing and plasterboard are all added at the job site.
