• Panel involves components which are assembled onsite to create enclosures, partitions or surfaces. Panel assemblies can be set within either conventional structural systems or inside volumetric enclosures. Panel is the current "go to" means for developers delivering solutions at smaller scale for multifamily, commercial and hopitality.
It relevance arises from use in wider and shallower enclosures which are fenestrated along their length, as a detached American suburban house. As a result, Panel as a system delivers less stiffness than Volumetric and therefore is more suitable to lowrise construction, either wood or cold rolled steel.
