The purpose of shelter is to protect occupants and valuables from the exposure of the surrounding environment.
The nature of some situations requires a prescription to resist much higher pressure. This pressure can be generated from very high wind loads due to environmental conditions, such as hurricane and tornado force winds, industrial risk of catastrophic accidental explosions or intentional explosive detonation.

The Ductal® Technology's robust characteristics and artful capabilities encourage the synergistic integration into a very capable explosive blast and high impact force resistant wall system.
Ductal®'s ability to absorb kinetic energy, through diaphragm action, protects the shelter's occupants and valuables in composite with the wall's design.
Ductal®‘s high flexural and shear resistance enables the building Engineer and Architect to create thinner and lighter wall skins, providing more inner wall space for insulation and other building envelope components.
The physical resistance of a Ductal composite designed wall is complemented by Ductal®‘s highly mouldable nature, which can produce wall systems that serve the basic needs of high performance blast and extreme wind resistant wall, with designs that can be pleasing to the eye. |
