What is Hebel?
Hebel is a high-performance Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (ACC) building product that comes in panel and block form. When you choose a Hebel home, your external walls, including the facade, side and rear, are constructed using strong, solid Hebel panels fixed to the frame of your home.
Hebel has been manufactured in Australia by CSR, the trusted name in building products, for over 30 years.
What finish can I expect on a Hebel home?
The 75mm thick Hebel panels are finished with an acrylic coating system, in other words, a fully rendered finish to your entire home. This gives you the freedom to choose a modern colour palette, knowing you can easily change it over time. Use colour to add personality, work with your environment or to highlight an architectural element. All these choices are possible when you build your home with Hebel external walls.
Where can I use it?
Hebel is a fantastic option for external walls. Fixed to your timber frame, the system is extremely robust which is why we've made it available. Hebel cannot be used in conjunction with bricks; you must select either brick or Hebel for your home's construction.
How does it compare with brick?
Each panel contains steel reinforcement for added strength with an anti-corrosion layer on the steel for maximum durability, Hebel is just as solid as bricks and mortar. It also gives you the look of fully rendered solid masonry.
What is Hebel made from?
Sand, cement, lime and gypsum. These are combined with water and an expansion agent to produce a slurry, which is poured into moulds to create lightweight Hebel blocks and panels.
