Technology

The UCO SolidWall System

The UCO SolidWall System is a solid, non-load bearing wall system which fits seamlessly into modern commercial, institutional, and residential building construction. It is a certified Industrial Building System (IBS) — meaning it meets internationally recognised standards for performance, safety, and quality.

The system comprises UAC Fibre Cement sheets (UCO VistaBord or UCO FlexaBord) fixed onto metal studs and in-filled with lightweight concrete mix. The result is a wall system that significantly outperforms traditional brick and block construction across every major performance metric.
