Strandwood Stressed Skin Panels

The Strandwood Stressed Skin Panel (SSS) is one of the traditional high-performance engineered wood based products that is now finding commercial acceptance and becoming popular again in the construction industry.  SSS panels are one of the most efficient structural systems around and is recommended for earthquake resistant housing construction.

SSS panel is a hybrid composite system that exploints the most desirable characteristics of engineer wood based products, glue and metallic components in order to create structurally efficient and reliable building materials.  With composite action no slippage occurs between the skins and joists/rafters when they are rigidly glued (resorcinol or melamine adhesives).

The whole panel assembled then behaves as a composite unit with direct transfer of forces, between skins and joists/rafters; the skins taking most of the bending stresses and the joists/rafters the shear stresses.

SSS panels are simple to construct in a factory which reduce site work and speed up the assembly process.  They are structurally efficient resulting in less overall weight for the roof and floor system.

The SSS panels can be used in floor, wall, ceiling, roof systems for housing and commercial construction and offer structural and cost advantage over other materials.

Worldwide Bkuilding Systems are leading the way in alternative floor, wall and roof construction solutions world wide.  Our engineered panels are amongst the strongest, lightweight and dimensionally stable available on todays market spanning up to six metres unsupported.

The Worldwide Building  System has been developed locally specifically for the Australian and New Zealand building markets, tested and developed in conjunction with leading structural engineers to produce a world class sustainable floor system.

The Worldwide Building System is a result of 20 years research and development, meeting stringent performance requirements and compliance with New Zealand and Australian Standards.      

Strandwood Stressed Skin Panels are the way of the future.
