Internal Wall Cladding
At ShapeShift, we craft innovative building materials tailored to meet the demands of modern architecture. The ShapeShell™ RT product family offers a versatile solution for internal wall cladding, featuring vacuum-infused structural fibre within a proprietary polymer matrix. We provide both standard profiles and custom options to address diverse architectural needs, focusing on easy installation, durability, and visual appeal.
ShapeShell™ RT Internal Wall Cladding offers a refined design that elevates interior aesthetics, providing a clean, sophisticated look. Customisable colours, textures, and profiles allow for creative flexibility to meet the unique vision of each project. Large, lightweight panels reaching up to 5.8 metres enable expansive, uninterrupted surfaces without excessive joint lines, ensuring a seamless, modern appearance.
ShapeShell™ RT Internal Wall Cladding is engineered for practicality, allowing efficient installation and reduced construction time. Lightweight yet durable panels are easy to handle and can be directly mounted onto structural walls or railings with fewer attachment points compared to traditional materials, simplifying logistics and reducing labour costs. The panels’ impact resistance, non-toxic composition, and on-site trimming capability make for straightforward installation without specialised tools.
Discover how ShapeShell™ RT Internal Wall Cladding can transform your interior spaces, meeting both the high-level vision of architects and the practical demands of builders, creating extraordinary environments that inspire.
Key Considerations
Lightweight
ShapeShell™ RT materials are engineered to reduce the structural load on buildings, providing cost savings in both material use and structural support. The trusted engineering of ShapeShift ensures that the panels deliver high strength with less weight, making them suitable for a wide range of applications.
Durability
ShapeShell™ RT, engineered by ShapeShift, is resistant to corrosion, moisture, and chemicals, making it suitable for a wide range of interior environments, including high-humidity areas and spaces exposed to chemicals. This durability also translates to a lower maintenance requirement, saving time and costs.
Impact Resistant
The advanced engineering of ShapeShell™ RT panels ensures exceptional impact resistance, making them ideal for high-traffic environments where durability and resilience are paramount. These ShapeShell™ RT panels can endure impacts that would damage more brittle materials like gypsum.
Aesthetics
ShapeShell™ RT panels by ShapeShift can be customised to achieve a wide range of aesthetic effects. The structure and pattern contribute to a modern appearance. Custom colours and surface textures can be applied to meet specific design requirements, providing architects with extensive creative flexibility.
Ease of Installation
ShapeShell™ RT panels by ShapeShift are prefabricated and can be installed quickly and efficiently using integrated connectors, reducing construction time and costs. The lightweight nature of ShapeShell™ RT also makes handling on-site easier and adaptable during installation without compromising the overall finish
Acoustic Performance
The cellular structure of ShapeShell™ RT panels enhances acoustic performance, helping to reduce noise within the building. ShapeShell™ RT panels can also be engineered to include surface features that enhance sound-absorbing properties, making them ideal for environments where noise control is crucial.
Thermal Efficiency
ShapeShell™ RT panels are known for their low thermal conductivity, which helps maintain comfortable indoor temperatures and enhances energy efficiency. This this an effective material for reducing heating and cooling costs, particularly in commercial and residential buildings where energy savings are a priority.
Fire Resistance
ShapeShell™ RT panels can be manufactured with fire-retardant additives, enhancing their safety profile. This makes them suitable for projects with strict fire safety requirements, providing added peace of mind for building owners and occupants, all backed by the quality assurance of ShapeShift.
Moisture Resistance
ShapeShell™ RT panels are moisture-resistant, making them well-suited for high-humidity environments or areas with exposure to water. Unlike gypsum-based products, ShapeShell™ RT panels do not degrade with prolonged exposure to moisture, ensuring long-lasting performance and durability in damp conditions.
Inert and Non-Toxic
ShapeShell™ RT is completely inert and non-toxic, ensuring it does not emit harmful substances. This makes it suitable for environments with stringent health requirements, such as hospitals, schools, and residential buildings, providing peace of mind regarding indoor air quality and occupant safety.
Sustainability
ShapeShell™ RT panels are designed with sustainability in mind. The lightweight nature of the material means fewer emissions during transportation, and the durability of the panels reduces the need for frequent replacements, contributing to a lower environmental impact over the lifecycle of the building.
Versatility
ShapeShell™ RT’s can be used in various applications, from decorative wall cladding to functional acoustic barriers. Its ability to be moulded into complex shapes makes it suitable for both practical and aesthetic uses, supporting a wide range of project requirements, all backed by the trusted engineering of ShapeShift.
