The uniqueness of LEPA lies in the supply of a complete turnkey solution in the erecting of housing. We have been able to create housing substantially faster and maintain quality at the same time. The result being houses that have excellent finishes incorporating the features indicated below.

Features:

  • Fast Simplified Construction.

The construction method applied incorporates tongue and groove energy panels and the use of mortar sizing liquid to bind and seal. The speed of this construction method is 300% faster than the conventional style which results in a 75% reduction in labour costs. The simplicity of the system allows for the employment of unskilled labour.

  • Durable and Structurally Superior.

The testing at the ISO and Agri’ment South Africa [Division of SABS] determined that our new technology was four times stronger and more durable than a conventional brick and mortar structure.

  • In-combustible

ISO Testing proved that at 1000 degrees for 4 hours, the product remained incombustible, non toxic and emitted no poisonous gases. Agrement registered a 1 hour incombustible result.

  • Lower Utility Costs.

The removal of 6 other materials used normally in the conventional building style, impacts the affordability positively.

  • Will Not Rot or Mould.

The lightweight panels have no wood or steel content and have been treated with anti –freeze additives which will prevent mildew or mould forming.

  • Green Building Technology.

On a conventional building site, 25% wastage is evident against our product displaying less than 1% of wastage.

In testing it was evident that there was 96% retention of energy.

  • 43 decibels sound insulation

On testing it was found that the insulation used to retain the energy simultaneously resulted in a superior sound insulation of 43 decibels against a conventional house that has sound insulation of 32.8dec.

  • Mosquito repellent resulting in eradication of malaria over a 5year period.

Marketing our product in Africa required the need to address a solution for the malaria risks thus we were able to include additives that will eliminate this epidemic within a 5 year period, wherever our panels are used to create a town or village scenario.

  • Anti-seismic

The ISO testing proved that pre-engineered walls showed excellent resilience towards seismic activity.

  • Energy Saver

Lightweight energy panels retain 96% of energy. As a result of this, a dwelling will be cool in the summer and warm in the winter without having to employ the use of air-conditioning in summer and heaters in the winter.

Our Pre-engineered walls are used not only as walls, but as floor panels as well, completing the insulation process. This benefit is aligned with the energy efficiency strategy of South Africa.
