Working with the AFS (Architectural Framing Systems) Logicwall, APA supply and install these permanent structural panels offering a quicker, lighter, space saving alternative to clumsy beams and columns.
AFS is a modern wall panel often described as the way of the future by leaders in the industry, thanks to its many positive features and few, if any, detrimental ones.
The structure is created by sandwiching two layers of durable fibre cement on a frame of galvanised steel studded frames. In reducing the need for time-consuming processes like plaster boarding, AFS maximises efficiency of the builder’s time and materials.
Advantages of AFS include:
- Simple, one trade system, reducing handling and wastage
- Fast and efficient, leading to shorter timelines for construction
- Overall cost benefits due to less materials used and short timeframes
- Durable, dual layer fibre cement combined with galvanised steel frames are longer lasting and provide greater fire and sound resistance
- Thinner and lighter wall structure, which reduces load bearing and provides more internal space
- Reduction in clumsy internal column and beam support
- Flexibility in size and thickness
