Finishing
Panels can be finished with a suitable vapour-permeable acrylic high build paint applied directly to the surface. This coating system is generally used on commercial applications where the bevelled edges of the panels are incorporated as a feature of the design.
Alternatively, Hebel SkimCoat and Hebel HighBuild have been designed to provide the perfect substrate for decorative coatings. Both have been specially formulated with a special acrylic polymer combined with washed, graded silica sand, cement and selected additives to enhance the application and workability of the mix for a consistent finish.
Below is a table showing the coating sequence for a variety of coating selections.

Floor Panel Systems
CSR Hebel Floor Panels are reinforced AAC panels designed as loadbearing components in commercial, industrial and residential construction applications.
Contact your local distributor to confirm the selected floor panel thickness is adequate for the design parameters of span, load deflection limit and fire resistance level rating.
After the panels are laid, reinforcing bars are placed between the panels in the recess and around the perimeter of the floor to form the ring anchor system in accordance with CSR Hebel specifications.
The joints and ring anchor sections should be lightly pre-wetted, filled with minimum 15MPa concrete grout, and rodded to ensure complete and level filling of the notch and groove. A mix of C1:S3:A2 (5mm maximum coarse aggregate) with 150mm slump is usually suitable. The grout should completely cover the reinforcing.
The hardness of CSR Hebel floor panels is greater than the blocks. When ring anchors are placed accurately and mortar is poured carefully and screeded properly, the surface is level and smooth.
When Hebel panels are used in external floor areas such as patios or balconies, it is important to use an approved waterproofing membrane.
CSR Hebel floor panels provide an excellent, solid, stable base for tile, slate, marble and other hard surface flooring including bathroom, laundry and other wet area applications.
The smooth flat surface is also perfectly suited to carpet, vinyl, timber boards, parquetry and decorative plywood flooring.
Panels in General
Panels should not be cut on site
unless they are ordered as cuttable. It is preferred they are ordered from the factory at the desired length. Where panels have been cut the exposed reinforcing should be coated with CSR Hebel corrosion protection compound or an approved equivalent.
CSR Hebel panels are supplied ready for use. They can be simply and easily laid into position with only the joints needing to be mortared. Installation is therefore largely dry and generally no formwork or bracing is necessary. The reinforcing in the panels is custom designed for each project.
Panels installed on CSR Hebel blockwork or steel beams can offer a flooring system that can be laid down exceptionally fast. As well as providing the benefits of rapid construction, differential movement between floors and walls is minimised.
CSR Hebel can assist your projects's engineer with product specifications to enable your engineer to design and layout panels, load bearing walls underneath structural elements and foundations.
