Panel Check

Independent Specialists in Composite Panel Assessment

[Panel Check @HelloPanelcheck]

What does it look like when a composite panel burns? We wanted to show you using our brand new fire demo kit. Here's an EPS core (expanded polystyrene) putting up zero resistance to the flame.

Note: This is a demonstration only, not a scientific analysis.

Four composite panels. Can you spot yours?

Every "Responsible Person" is being asked to determine the construction of their building, by looking at the walls.

From the outside, these four are identical. In a fire they are anything but.

"A quick look" won't cut it.

You need to know what your composite panels are actually made of.

Once you know, you can either relax or take steps to reduce your risk.

If you don't know, you can't do either.

We're searching high & low to give clients the information they need.

Checking composite panels needs more than a clipboard!

Panels are often hidden, out of reach and ignored. Finding and assessing them needs drones, MEWPs and the team to operate them. We train our team to get eyes in the right place and to understand what they're looking at.

Gleaming seamless whitewall as far as the eye can see.
Unknown to the client our detailed inspection showed this space had been built in multiple phases with four composite panel types present. This is the level of detail your insurance provider is asking for.

Another day another roof void...
We can confirm your panel spec and take core samples for lab testing without leaving a trace. We won't leave a hole in your Board Room.

NEAR-MISS!!

Completely hidden from the client for years. The welding of a gutter joint has caused significant charring of the composite panel core. Had this been a more combustible composition they could have been looking at a total loss. Check your what is hidden in your walls!

Buildings evolve. Power, data and services get added year after year. Compartmentation doesn't always keep up.
If your fire stopping hasn't been reviewed since the last fit-out, it's worth finding out what's really passing through your walls.

What’s hiding inside your property's walls and ceilings? 🔍

Standard visual site surveys are blind to what lies beneath... On the surface, panels look identical. But once you look inside you expose the level of combustability hidden in your walls.

What's really inside your roof? You might be surprised.

Composite panels look identical from the outside but what's behind that metal skin can vary hugely in fire performance. Panel Check identifies what's in your building, and what that means for your risk.
