We use that system at work but I can just give my opinion on their installation.
We build GF and 2nd storey PODS (all steel frame) which are all cladded with Masterwall.
The guys are very quick and the end finish looks great. Apparently it has great insulation values to the point where some buildings dont need batts in the walls!
Can find more tech info if you guys want
How well does it hold up against a cricket ball?
It's architectural polystyrene foam which is very hard - it's not like postal packing stuff
My sister has previously built a couple two story homes with Masterwall upper walls, so I have seen external and internal finishes. Good chance we will be be using it in our West Leederville project, due to materials cost decreased incl less scaffolding (as our site is very thin, 10m wide), less time to put up than double brick and better insulation properties than double brick. Major con, as others in the West have suggested, is the 'wall knock' effect.
One piece of advice in relation to putting batts in the wall, dont just focus on the R rating you are trying to acheive, the batts themselves add extra mass to the wall, helping with noise transference through the wall. House number 1 built had thinner masterwall panels and batts, street noise was noticeably quieter than House number 2 that had thick masterwall panels but no batts, both walls quoted as same (near enough) R rating. Its a subjective observation, but I know for a relatively minimal extra cost I'll be adding batts into my walls, regardless of the masterwall panel thickness.
So why not use it for houses not just g/flats or upper walls?? Just curious if it looks good, cost effective and takes less time why not???
By the way I know nothing about this product, but all the above mentioned got my attention
It is certainly possible. It's just getting Perth brick addicts on board
There is some extra structural elements you need if you are putting it in a multi storey development but it is possible. You can also use it with brick internal leaf and Masterwall outer so that people can get that nice solid knock Or just have framed innerwalls like other states and Masterwall outer.
