AP Panel Walls/Fencing

What is AP Panel?
AP Panel is an engineered assembly of the most advanced technology in concrete and concrete reinforcement. The combination of a three-dimensional structural wire panel, polymer based stucco, and acrylic coatings have made possible these prefabricated panels of exceptional durability and strength at a fraction of the weight of block, brick or concrete structures.

Cost Effective
AP Panel is a true value. Not only is it competitively priced but the quick installation time and advanced erection methods reduce your interruption time and eliminate costly landscape and environmental damage.

Limited Access Installations
AP Panel is ideal for installation where limited access to the property line prevents normal block laying or concrete pours. AP Panels are also ideally suited for applications where the landscape prevents extensive trenching and pouring of expensive reinforced footings or access by cumbersome premix concrete trucks.

Low Maintenance
All components of the AP Panel system are designed to provide years of maintenance free service. To protect against corrosion, the structural wire panel is fabricated using galvanized steel wire and the structural tubing and support brackets are also galvanized.
The polymer based stucco and colored acrylic coatings were developed by the construction industry for years of service on the exterior of residential and commercial buildings.

AP Panel Structural Performance
The structural foundation of the AP Panel is a three dimensional, resistance welded truss system manufactured from 0.080 diameter carbon steel wire conforming to ASTM A82 specified at 110,000 psi tensile minimum and corrosion protected with a 0.08 oz./ft2 galvanized coating. The center of the panel contains 2-3/4” thick expanded polystyrene manufactured by the pentane expansion method, which is harmless to the upper atmosphere ozone layer. The exterior surface of the wire truss system is then coated with 1/41” polymer based lightweight stucco.
Panels were tested in flexure at an independent laboratory using an air bag system to provide uniform loading. The mechanism and procedures used were in substantial compliance with ASTM C72.
Measured Ultimate Load: 129 lbs/ft.2
Rated Work Load: 43 lbs/ft2
Load & Deflection = L/180: 28.6 lbs/ft2
(Ultimate/3 Method)

Acoustic Performance
AP Panels have been designed to provide the customer with an affordable, effective sound wall system as well as an attractive, secure enclosure. Unlike conventional wood fences, AP Panel is an efficient sound absorption system. Laboratory tested is strict accordance with the standards listed below, AP Panels have been rated at a Sound Transmission Class of 43.
APPLICABLE TEST STANDARDS
ASTM E 90-87
ASTM C 423-90a
ASTM E 413-87


The AP Panel Advantage

Fast Installation
AP Panel modules install quickly with a minimum of landscape damage and traffic problems.

Factory Perfetced
Trained personnel in controlled factory conditions produce panels to exact specifications.

Cost Effective
More competitively priced and quick installation time makes the AP Panel system a true value.

Limited Access
AP Panel modules can be installed from one side only for limited access applications.

Strong and Durable
Engineered use of strong building components that have been in service internationally for over a decade, AP Panel modules are built to last.

Full Floating Modules
Each module is an independent structural member that will self adjust to freeze-thaw stress.

Low Maintenance
The polymer based masonry and colored acrylic coating were developed to provide years of maintenance free service.
