UCO SolidWall Building System is an
Agrément Certified Alternative Building Technology (ABT)
consisting of UCO Flexabord, fixed onto SANS 517 designed assembled and erected Lightweight Steel Frame (LSF)
and the core in filled with a lightweight concrete mix.
UCO Solid Wall System consists of:
- UCO Flexabord 6mm thickness both sides with thermal break on the external envelope
- Fire rated – up to 4 hours
- Wall thickness 105mm
- Light weight concrete mix
The Green Building Index (GBI) is a green rating tool developed specifically for the tropical climate of Malaysia. At the same time, it addresses current social needs, infrastructure and economic development context with the objective of promoting developers and building owners to design and construct sustainable buildings.
UCO Solid Wall System contributes to GBI as well and is accessed based on the following criteria:
NRNC – Non-Residential New Construction
NREB – Non-Residential Existing Building
INC – Industrial New Construction
IEB – Industrial Existing Building
RNC – Residential New Construction

Fix top metal track to structural support and bottom metal track onto the floor, thereafter light gauge metal stud frame is installed.
Lightweight infill mixing can take place in designated areas.
UCO VISTABORD / UCO FLEXABORD is
fixed to one side of the metal frame.
The lightweight infill mix is pumped to each floor to fill the wall cavity.
Door and window frames, plumbing & electrical services can be easily installed where required.
Joint setting is done using the UCO Jointing Compound.
Wall panelling is completed by fixing UCO VISTABORD / UCO FLEXABORD to the other side of the metal frame.
When completed, UCO SOLIDWALL can accept a wide range of finishes.
