INTRODUCTION
Description
MasterWall® ready-to-render polystyrene panel is an external lightweight, reinforced, insulating wall panel, mechanically fixed to the outer face of the building. The panels are completed by the application of an approved acrylic render, trims, sealants, opening flashings and decorative and waterproof coatings.
Traditional sand/cement render is not suitable on the MasterWall® panels.
The base material is Medium (M) Grade expanded polystyrene (EPS) in sheet form with an applied facing of a cementitious-based material. This facing is reinforced with a fiberglass mesh. The facing is compatible with approved acrylic render and decorative finishes.
EPS (and the combination of EPS and acrylic render) has a 60-year history of use in Europe and North America. MasterWall®
complies with the Building Code of Australia (2008) - Alternative Solutions.
Application
MasterWall® ready-to-render polystyrene panel is appropriate for use on timber and steel-framed residential and commercial buildings. It may also be applied to concrete and masonry.
The lightweight panels are convenient to install and add minimum weight to the structure.
The product’s thermal insulation properties contribute to the energy efficiency of the building. The ability to accept a range of approved acrylic render and decorative finishes allows a variety of aesthetic styles to be achieved, including traditional, heritage and modern.
The large panels are speedily installed, providing early enclosure and weatherproofing – assisting the achievement of early lock-up stage.
Composition
Panel: Medium (M) Grade expanded polystyrene (EPS) with included flame retardant.
Facing: Flexible cementitious material designed for both an excellent mechanical fix and a natural chemical bond with the binders and polymers found in approved acrylic render systems. The finished surface has a light trowel type texture.
Reinforcing: A layer of alkaline-resistant fiberglass mesh, 145gm/m2 minimum.
Manufacture
The panels are manufactured locally from Australian and imported materials. The reinforced facing is mechanically applied to the previously cured EPS panels.
As water ingression into timber frame can cause significant movement and thus risk cracking the external render, total frame protection from weather ingression should be implemented prior to the installation of the MasterWall®. If for any reason, moisture is apparent in the timber frame after installation, this should be allowed to dry out thoroughly prior to the application of render.
It is recommended that the installation of internal linings to all external walls should be completed prior to the start of the render process of the MasterWall® System. If installing internal linings after the completion of external render, use screw fixings only, as hammering nails will crack external render.

PROPERTIES
Thermal Performance MasterWall® panel R Rating Values
Thickness Rating Rt*
50mm 1.3 1.8
75mm 2.0 2.5
100mm 2.7 3.2
125mm 3.3 3.9
*An allowance R 0.5 can be attributed to a standard stud frame internally lined with 10mm plasterboard. Rt - Total Wall System Thermal Rating. Building Code of Australia (BCA) states that external walls of residences must demonstrate an R Rating of a minimum of R 2.8.
As significant variations occur in both thickness and/or number of layers applied (as well as the types of approved acrylic render used on external walls), an R Rating is not applied to the completed render finish.
The optional thicknesses of the panel provide the opportunity to achieve higher R Ratings without the need to install additional materials.
Although the finished MasterWall® panels are water resistant, a breathable frame wrap is required over framing. If a reflective insulation is required for enhanced thermal performance or to achieve other construction characteristics, that material is to be a breather grade – to allow for vapour transmission.
Acoustic Performance The rendered MasterWall® system has been tested to AS 1191-2002 for Airbourne Sound Insulation. The STC rating is 35. (note this does not include sound control batts). MasterWall® panels can be used as part of a total wall system to achieve various Rw (Weighted Sound Transmission Index) and STC (Sound Transmission Class) ratings. Please contact Practica MMC for further information.
Fire Resistance & Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) MasterWall® panels are non-fire rated. EPS contains a fire-retardant additive that causes the MasterWall® panels to self extinguish when the fire source is removed. The reinforcing face is not combustible. In a fire situation, EPS - in common with timber and other building materials - generates carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide. Contact the manufacturer for further details.
The complete MasterWall BAL 29 (system) has achieved a Bushfire Attack Level rating of BAL29 to AS1530.8.1-2007. This applies to the entire MasterWall® system including a specific set of supporting materials and render specification. Consult Practica MMC Pty for further information.
Impact Resistance When correctly installed, MasterWall® panels offer similar resistance to impact and damage as other common non-metallic sheet materials. In addition to this feature, the panels will not shatter or fracture beyond the area of impact. Minor damage will be partly corrected by the self-recovery properties of the EPS. Moisture Resistance MasterWall® panels do not absorb water. This a property of EPS that also prevents capillary action. When correctly installed with the properly detailed flashings and material combinations, MasterWall® System provides a weatherproof face to the building. This includes the installation of a breathable frame wrap over framing. M.S.D.S. A Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) is available for MasterWall® panels. Please contact Practica MMC.
11COPYRIGHT 2013. No part of this document is to be copied or reproduced without the express written permission of Practica MMC Pty Ltd.
Substrates Timber framing must comply with: AS 1684 - National Timber Framing Code.
Metal framing must comply with: AS 3623 - Domestic metal framing.
Masonry walls must comply with: AS 3700 - Masonry Structures.
Precast / Tilt-Up walls must comply with: AS 3600 / AS 3850 - Precast and Tilt-Up Panel Construction.
Structural bracing is to be integral to the wall frame system.
MasterWall® System does not contribute to the structural integrity of the framing.
The control factors for installation of MasterWall® panels are:
Support Spacing: 450mm & 600mm framing.
Building Classes: 1 to 10
Wind Loadings: N1 to N5 (classes 1 & 10). All loadings engineered to suit building requirements for classes 2 to 9.
Cyclonic: C3 & C4 on 450mm steel or timber stud spacings. For installation outside these control factors, please contact Practica MMC.
BAL 29 (Bushfire Attack Level) The MasterWall® BAL 29 System must be comprised of a precise group of specified materials to meet the Bushfire Attach Level standard as tested (AS1530.8.1-2007). This includes the MasterWall® panel with all of the MasterWall® ancillaries, i.e. MasterWall® breather frame wrap, window flashing tape, fixings, fixing buttons, urethane sealants, foam sealants, external render trims and fibreglass mesh.
The render system applied must strictly follow the render specification of various render system manufacturers for the MasterWall® System to achieve a BAL 29 rating (contact Practica MMC for further information).
Reinforcing Tape Alkaline-resistant fiberglass reinforcing mesh (5mm x 5mm), minimum 150mm - 200mm wide, 145gm/m2 must be installed over all panel joints.
Trims Mesh reinforced alloy corner trims are preferred and are to be applied to all external corners/openings and exposed bottom edges of panels if applicable. Galvanised or stainless steel trims are not recommended.
Flashing Tape (Framing Application Only) Flexible adhesive backed Aluminium MasterWall® Flashing Tape typically used around windows, doors and underneath control joints as a high quality adhesive flashing system.
Joint Sealant A flexible urethane foam sealant should be applied to all butt joints - see page 25.
12 COPYRIGHT 2013. No part of this document is to be copied or reproduced without the express written permission of Practica MMC Pty Ltd. 02.12.2013
Window Flashing Sealant A long skinning liquid polyurethane elastomeric sealant applied to the face of the window flashing tape. Urethane foam sealants are not to be used in this application.
Screw Fixings Class (3) screws, 10 gauge fitted with a 40mm diameter MasterWall® plastic button. Class (3) screws are specified regardless of the geographic location, as MasterWall® panels always contain differing levels of water vapour.

13COPYRIGHT 2013. No part of this document is to be copied or reproduced without the express written permission of Practica MMC Pty Ltd.
INSTALLATION Breather Frame Wrap (Framing Application Only)Practica MMC recommends use of MasterWall® Breather Frame Wrap or similar.Note: Under no circumstances should a non-breathable paper be used behind MasterWall® panels.
Layout MasterWall® panels may be laid either vertically or horizontally (for either frame or masonry substrates) according to the best fit for the 2400mm x 1200mm sheet - horizontal, staggered joint layout is always the preferred option.
If the wall height is less than or equal to 2400mm, then practicality may dictate that the MasterWall® panel be laid vertically - but horizontal layout is the preferred option.
If the wall height is greater than 2400mm, then the panels should always be laid horizontally, in a brickwork or stretcher bond pattern, with each 1200mm vertical joint staggered up through the height of the wall.A horizontal layout is the preferred option.
Supporting Framework Edges of the MasterWall® panels may require support on studs, noggings or other intermediate blocking.
MasterWall® panels may be cantilevered or projected beyond supports by the same distance as a given panel’s thickness.
Fixed-back blocking techniques are mandatory. Full-stud width (min 90mm) support is required. Back blocking timber must be MGP 10 or greater. Merchant grade is not permitted. Adhesive fixed back blocking is not permitted. Supports to intermediate joints are required, as shown in this table.
Panel Thickness 50mm 75mm 100mm 125mm
Joint Orientation V H V H V H V H
Studs 450 crs ✔ ✘ ✔ ✘ ✔ ✘ ✔ ✘
Studs 600 crs ✔ ✔ ✔ ✘ ✔ ✘ ✔ ✘
(V = Vertical) (H = Horizontal)
Supports/blocking are required to all edges around openings.
Cutting (a) Masonry Blade: For 50mm, 75mm, 100mm &125mm MasterWall® panels, a diamond-tipped masonry blade is the most accurate, time-efficient and clean way to cut/trim panels (see MSDS).
(b) Hand Saw: A fine-tooth saw is also an efficient way of cutting the MasterWall® panel.
MasterWall® panels should be accurately cut to size to produce close butt joints between panels.
Health & Safety Use of personal protective equipment (face masks and safety goggles) is recommended. The fine dust created by mechanical cutting is hazardous, and protection is recommended, including face masks and safety goggles. Mechanical cutting should be performed in well-ventilated spaces. Power tools can be fitted with effective dust-extraction systems. Refer to MasterWall® Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).

Fixing To Framing
(a) Centres: On a stud spacing of either 450mm or 600mm, fixings are to be at a maximum 400mm centres vertically to all perimeter and intermediate supports. Fixings around perimeter of panels should be 50mm in from the edge of the panel. Average 10 fixings per m2 (see Wind Load Fixing Chart page 12).
(b) Fixings: Fixing screws and buttons should be the type and suitability as set out in this guide.
(c) Appearance: When fastened correctly, the screw head and button should be slightly countersunk in a concave recess on the outer surface of the panel, and located so as to not crush the edge of the panel. The button should always retain its circular shape i.e. if the button begins to flare or fold it has been screwed too far towards the frame.
Fixing To Masonry/Concrete
MasterWall® panels can be fixed to masonry and concrete substrates by either:
(a) Directly fixing to the masonry substrate utilizing a combination of MasterWall® approved masonry anchors (spaced at 600mm maximum vertical lines at 600mm spacings) with intermediate daubs of MasterWall® approved adhesive between fixings. (See Construction Details on pages 22 & 23). Note: This method cannot be used in cyclonic zones.
(b) Directly fixing to masonry substrate with MasterWall® approved anchors only. Note: This method must be used for cyclonic zones, fixing layout is the same as frame fixing method on wind load chart (see page 12).
(c) On timber or metal battens over masonry and concrete substrates spaced at either 450mm or 600mm centers with fixing centres as per frame fixing spacings on page 12.
Note: For more information on appropriate MasterWall masonry anchors please contact Practica MMC.
Sealing - Joints
Prior to closing up of all joints between panels (and between panels and other building elements), a flexible urethane foam is required to the centre the gap between panels.
This forms a mechanical seal for weatherproofing, and converts the many individual panels into a single monolithic, insulated skin. Foam urethane sealant is therefore required to:
(a) All butt joints
(b) All external corners and butt jointed internal corners
Sealing – Openings (Framing Applications Only)
Prior to the application of the panel, all openings must be flashed from the reveal to the frame. This is now a Building Code requirement. Practica MMC Pty Ltd recommends and supplies adhesive aluminium MasterWall® Flashing Tape for just this purpose, and is suitable for both aluminium and timber windows. This proven flashing method reduces the risk of water penetration. In turn, the panels are then to be sealed with Urethane liquid (not foam) to the face of the flashing tape to form a gasket seal around the opening.
Note: MasterWall® panels should not be externally sealed to window/door reveals at this point, post installation and prior to render application. Sealants should never be rendered over, as render systems, with limited movement capabilities, will restrict a sealant's ability to move according to manufacturer’s specification. Sealants for openings should be applied after the render system has been applied - never before!

Sealing – Other Penetrations (including wiring, plumbing, joists, ducting)
Where possible all penetrations through the MasterWall® System should be treated as per window detail, incorporating flashing tape and liquid urethane sealant. This is of high importance for floor and pergola joist penetrations, electrical meter boxes, ducting and the like.
It is then recommended that a 10mm minimum clearance gap be left between the MasterWall® panel and the penetration and caulked using MasterWall® flexible expanding foam urethane sealant prior to render application.
Smaller penetrations such as plumbing or electrical conduit should have a 10mm minimum clearance gap between the MasterWall® panel and the pipe and caulked using MasterWall® approved flexible expanding foam urethane sealant prior to render application.
Note: Extra mesh tape is required around the penetration for added reinforcing during the render process. Practica MMC Pty Ltd recommends the use of liquid sealants to all timber windows after the rendering process has been completed. Please note that render systems are not sealants i.e. an opening cannot be sealed by the application of an acrylic render system. Render systems are water-shedding technologies, not weather-proofing technologies.
Control Joints and Articulation Relief Joints
Control joints for expansion should coincide with control joints within the building structure and substrate, and should be placed at all perceived stress points or weak areas of excessive movement within the building structure. Control joints should be placed at a maximum of walls that are over 20 meters long and at all mid-floor breaks. It is recommended that panel area below windows that is less than 300mm in height should be relieved with ‘Articulation Relief Joints’ of the render coating, at the corners of the opening (see Finishing: page 16). Contact Practica MMC for further information. Articulation relief joints of the render coating are to be formed by cutting or forming a ‘V’ groove into the completed base coats, only to 70% depth of the render, not into the MasterWall® panel. The applied top coats shall replicate the ‘V’ groove to leave a visible line.
Where control joints are part of the building construction, the joint is to be expressed in the MasterWall® panels as an open joint, free of construction urethane, and finished as for all other open edges (including external corners applied to each edge).
Panel to panel control joints should be located on double studs, which are then to be sealed with flashing tape, which is then sealed to the rear of each panel with the use of a liquid (not foam) polyurethane sealant.
All control joints should feature either Ableflex (or similar) or backer rod as the primary seal, which should be set back in the control joint a minimum of 8mm where it must be caulked by others after the render process has been completed. – See Construction Details Manual. All Control Joints should be free of render products.
Corners, Edges, Openings & Returns
All panels to external corners must be butt joined (square) to give maximum strength to the corner.
Butt joints are required to all internal corners. Foam urethane sealant is required in this butt joint.
To form a total weatherproof face, all joints and abutments require sealing with foam urethane sealant.
MasterWall® Alloy External Corners should be applied to all of the following areas:
(a) All external corners
(b) All openings
(c) All bottom edges of panel
These trims are to be in long lengths and set accurately to be plumb, level and straight.

Skyline System
The Skyline System is an architectural concealed waterproofing detail for use on parapet designs, featuring clean, uninterrupted lines. The Skyline System is concealed by the applied render finish and eliminates the need for unsightly pressed metal capping. It is also used as a waterproofing detail for fixing blocks within the MasterWall and K-Series Systems.
The Skyline System membrane is a pressure sensitive self-adhesive butyl tape, 0.75mm in thickness, containing a non-woven polyester fibre face, ready for the application of high polymer render. Able to withstand building movement, it has 35% elongation breaking limit and is serviceable from -10˚ to 100˚ Celsius.
Important Note: As the Skyline System is a total waterproofing detail, no fixings should ever penetrate the horizontal surface of the completed parapet. All fixings of balustrades and the like should only be mounted on the vertical wall surface only.
Curved Walls
MasterWall® panels can be installed to curved shapes of a single radius. Tight curves can be achieved by utilising 50mm panel, fixed to maximum 300 centred stud frame. Contact Practica MMC for further information. Soffits
MasterWall® panels can be installed as a soffit. Application and finishing requirements are as for walls. Contact Practica MMC for details.
Finishing
When all MasterWall® panels have been installed (complete with sealants and edge trims) a 5mm minimum thickness of an approved acrylic render system is required. The reinforcing mesh over the panel joints is incorporated in the first skim coat of render.
The approved acrylic render is applied using conventional techniques. The render also flush finishes all mechanical fixings.
Traditional sand/cement renders are not suitable for application to MasterWall® panels. When the skim coats are dry, the selected approved finishing coat can be applied. This coat can be smooth or textured, and coloured as preferred.
A minimum acceptable result can be achieved by the following sequence:• 3mm skim coat (including Reinforcing Mesh Tape)• 2mm skim coat• 1.5mm top coat and/or paint finish • When applying MasterWall® System approved render systems, ensure to follow the render system manufacturer's specifications. Articulation relief joints of the render coating are to be formed by cutting or forming a ‘V’ groove into the completed base coats, only to 70% depth of the render, not into the MasterWall® panel. The applied top coats shall replicate the ‘V’ groove to leave a visible line.
Storage, Handling, Protection
MasterWall® panels delivered to site should be stored flat and evenly supported. They should be covered or otherwise protected from damage or soiling.
If stored outside panel stacks are to be covered, a material/canvas cover should be utilized. Under no circumstances should a black plastic cover be used.
During installation, the MasterWall® panels should be handled with care to prevent edge damage or fracture.
17COPYRIGHT 2013. No part of this document is to be copied or reproduced without the express written permission of Practica MMC Pty Ltd.
Particular care is required during windy conditions, as unsecured panels can be severely damaged.
Continuous exposure may result in deterioration and minor fretting of exposed edges of the panel. This is to be removed prior to proceeding with finishing or sealing. As with all sheet materials, protection from impact damage is required.
The application of the approved acrylic render should, wherever possible, follow the installation of internal services, fittings and linings – when the risk of damage is minimised.
Timely application of the render will complete the wall system - and protect the panels from damage.
Repair
Panels that are fractured or severely damaged (before or after fixing) should be rejected or cut down to size for use.
Minor penetrations, edge fractures or crushed areas may be site-patched with the reinforcing mesh and an approved acrylic patching render.
Waste Management
Being lightweight, the panel material is readily dispersed by the wind. To prevent a nuisance, all off-cuts and residue from cutting should be stored in tied plastic bags for removal to a place of legal disposal. Attention to detail - in particular to spacing of backblocking - will contribute to a reduction in the amount of waste and off-cut materials.
