If you’re in the process of building a home, you may already be familiar with the term Hebel but not about the benefits it can provide. Hebel is a strong, versatile, high performance building product made from Autoclaved Aerated Concrete, and is an alternative to bricks and render. Hebel panels also contain anti-corrosion steel reinforcement for added strength.

On average, Hebel is a cheaper alternative to bricks if you want a rendered finish to your home, which is why more Queenslanders are opting to use Hebel in their new builds. Read on to find out what the six benefits of Hebel are.

QUALITY AND SPEED

Building with Hebel means that your home will be built faster, without sacrificing on quality. This is because, according to CSR Hebel, ‘one standard Hebel panel is the equivalent of 75 traditional bricks, which means a 150m2 home can go up as quickly as within 3 days when installed by experienced Hebel installers.’ Using Hebel to build your new home is a fantastic solution to cut down the time before your handover date which is why it’s quickly becoming a customer favourite. 

ECO-FRIENDLY

With an alarming increase of pollution in this day and age, it’s reassuring to know that amongst Hebel’s many benefits, it also treads lightly on this planet, as it’s an environmentally friendly choice of building material made using readily available raw materials. Manufactured in Australia, the waste generated in the manufacturing process is recycled, even down to the steam that’s produced. That’s why Hebel is the smart choice.

NOISE REDUCTION

If you live near a high-traffic road and are dreading the noise once you move in, you may want to highly consider building with Hebel, because it reduces noise transmission. When compared to polystyrene and many fibre cement substrates, the use of Hebel for external walls reduces noise from external sources like traffic, meaning more peace and quiet for your family. Additionally, if you’re building a double storey home and use Hebel on the upper floors, it can also reduce sound transference between levels as well.
