Fast Track Walling System
Versatile fast track walling system is compatible with steel framed structures plus exhibits considerable savings.
"As a company, SpeedDeck anticipate building regulations only becoming stricter, in line with the general drive towards greater energy efficiency".
"The new upgrades will keep SpeedDeck ahead of the market trends and maintain Vitesse's position as one of the leading architectural wall solutions in the UK".
Vitesse is a bi-modular, RockWool cored, insulated wall panel system with 15mm recessed joints.
The steel or aluminium facings are incorporated into an advanced jointing and sealing system.
Both inner and outer faces are structurally bonded to the precision cut, inherently fire-safe RockWool insulation core, using a thermosetting laminating adhesive, which is CFC and HCFC free.
Vitesse is available in both straight and curved formats.
Each pre-engineered, bespoke panel is delivered with integrated seals, trims and accessories and is suitable for the majority of building applications.
The new upgrades to this system improve 'U'-values from a standard of 0.35 W/m2K, to 0.3 for the new 150mm panel and 0.25 for the new 180mm panel.
These new 'U'-value improvements add an even higher level of performance to the smooth, elegantly flat bespoke Vitesse system.
Further benefits of Vitesse include optimum weather tightness, air tightness and improved acoustics which, combined with the excellent thermal qualities, maintain a comfortable interior climate.
