Townhouse Development Using Logicwall For The Structural Walls

About The Build

The Peverill Crescent Townhouses is a three-storey development on a sloping site in Auckland, and required a structural wall system capable to carry the load, while remaining efficient to build.

Logicwall was specified for all structural walls on the project, including both intertenancy and exterior walls. The development uses a combination of the 120mm and 162mm Logicwall profiles, providing the strength required for a multi-level build while simplifying construction compared to traditional wall system. 

Staying In Control Of The Build

One of the key advantages for the developer and builder was the programme control. The onsite team was able to install Logicwall themselves, removing the need to rely on traditional trades such as blocklayers. 

As this was their first time using Logicwall, the builders were supported by the AFS installation team throughout the installation. This ensured confidence onsite and a smooth workflow, keeping the project moving without delays and reducing reliance on extra labour. 

Efficiency & Performance

Logicwall meets the project’s structural, acoustic, and fire compliance without the need for extra materials. Load-bearing, fire rating and acoustic ratings are achieved without the need to strap and line the walls. Where higher acoustic performance is required, additional strapping and lining can be added, although on most project this isn’t necessary, resulting in further savings on time and cost. 

For this development, the Logicwall 162mm profile achieves an acoustic rating of __ STC, and a fire rating of 240/240/240, meeting the demands of a three-storey, multi-residential build. 

Benefits of Logicwall: 

• Builders can install Logicwall themselves.
• Structually load-bearing, acoustic and fire performance in one system.
• Elimates for strapping and lining of the walls.
• Easy and fast to install and well suited for multi-residential developments.
