product photo 100mm Safeload Hebel Wall Panel Safeload
Veneer Panel Board
Safeload Wall Systems provides a wall system. Yes Test results show that the panel contributes to energy saving of the house and also reduces the emission of greenhouse gases. Safeload Hebel Wall Panels have sourced the primary material from a GECA certified product. Safeload Wall Systems has provided evidence of reduction in greenhouse gas emissions of at least 30% for the production of the primary material. The greenhouse gas emissions constitute the primary environmental load for this environmentally innovative product. Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes
