2. 4 types of wall panel systems Flat Type Ribbed Type Window and Wall Type Tilt up Wall System

3. Flat type It is a single piece of material, usually flat and cut into a rectangular shape, that serves as the visible and exposed covering for a wall. WALL PANEL SYSTEMS 3

4. WALL PANEL SYSTEM 4 ADVANTAGES • Cost saving • No more mold • Extra time • An end to tough cleaning • Watertight guarantee. DISADVANTAGES • Decorative functions • Insulating functions • Soundproofing functions • Uniformity of appearance • Durability • Easily Replaceable

5. Features and benefits • Special interlocking joint design • Can be combined with other Butler wall systems, bricks, glass and other conventional materials. • 16” panel width enables application of almost any conventional finish on the interior of the wall system. • Factory-installed rigid insulation board • Available in several visually appealing colors. 5

6. ribbed type It is the most economical wall system. This wall system is more economical than wood, concrete or masonry alternatives. WALL PANEL SYSTEMS 6

8. WALL PANEL SYSTEM 8 ADVANTAGES • Inexpensive • Variation in styles • It is fire resistant, mold and insect resistant • Eco-friendly DISADVANTAGES • Fasteners are exposed, with means maintenance / repair every decade or so • Caulking requires additional maintenance • Metal can dent or be scratched

9. wall type A curtain wall system consisting of performed metal cut stone, precast concrete or panelized brick wall units, which may be pre-glazed or glazed after installation. The framing is attached to the building structure and does not carry the floor or roof loads of the building. WALL PANEL SYSTEMS 9
