Party wall systems for duplexes and townhouses

Fire-rated party walls from Hebel, James Hardie and Siniat, priced from the same plans as your frames and trusses and delivered to site with them, anywhere in NSW.

The whole structure from one supplier

Duplexes, dual occupancies and townhouses need a fire-rated party wall between each home. Order it with your frames and trusses and it's priced from the same plans and delivered with the job, so you deal with one supplier instead of chasing several.

Add the floor system, flooring and cladding, and the structure of every home on the lot comes from us.

Send us your plans
A duplex in section. The party wall (lime) runs from the slab up into the roof space, with each home's own frames and trusses either side of it.

Party wall systems we supply

Hebel PowerPanelXL

75 mm. Steel-reinforced AAC panels held between the two homes' frames on aluminium brackets, in the Hebel intertenancy wall system. A solid masonry wall between neighbours.

Hardie Gravis Panel

75 mm and 50 mm. James Hardie's steel-reinforced AAC panel, made for party walls and zero lot walls as well as rendered facades, so one panel can do both jobs on a duplex.

Siniat InterHome

25 mm. A central fire barrier of Intershield, a mould and water-resistant shaftliner, set in InterHome H studs and clipped to both homes' frames. Lighter to carry than AAC panels. We supply the H studs, clips, track and 16 mm Fireshield the system calls for.

Choosing a system

The party wall is specified on your plans by the designer, engineer or certifier, with the fire and sound ratings the National Construction Code asks for. We supply the system your plans call for.

AAC panels from Hebel and James Hardie make a solid, heavy wall. Siniat InterHome is a lighter plasterboard barrier. If your plans don't name a system yet, say so on the quote form and we'll talk you through the options.

A party wall only keeps its fire and sound ratings if it's built exactly to the manufacturer's system details. We supply only, so use an installer who knows the system.

What to send us

Architectural plans showing the party walls, the structural engineer's drawings, the party wall system and ratings if the plans name them, and the site suburb.

Where party walls go

Duplexes and dual occupancies

Two homes side by side on one lot, from knockdown rebuilds on established streets to new estates.

Townhouses and terraces

A row of attached homes with a party wall between each one, single or double storey.

Zero lot walls

Homes built on or close to a boundary. Hardie Gravis and Hebel both make boundary wall systems, priced with the frames like the rest of the job.

Party wall questions

Can you supply the party walls with the frames and trusses?

Yes. Send the plans once and we'll price the frames, trusses, floor system, party walls and cladding together, delivered to site with the job.

Which party wall systems do you supply?

Hebel PowerPanelXL, Hardie Gravis Panel, and Siniat InterHome with 25 mm Intershield shaftliner, including the H studs, clips and track InterHome needs.

What fire rating does a party wall need?

The National Construction Code sets the fire and sound requirements, and your designer, engineer or certifier specifies the system on the plans. We supply the system they specify.

Do you install party walls?

No, we supply only. The wall has to be built to the manufacturer's system details to keep its ratings, so use an installer who knows the system.
