Westgyp is stocking Speedpanel in Balcatta, Perth.
Australian owned and operated, Speedpanel is known for its cutting edge fire and acoustic rated wall systems, making it perfect for WA’s diverse climate.
Speedpanel is a lightweight, fire-rated wall system manufactured in Australia and designed for commercial, industrial and multi-residential construction. Made from a steel outer shell with a lightweight aerated cement core, Speedpanel provides certified fire and acoustic performance while being faster and easier to install than many traditional wall systems.
Speedpanel consists of a roll-formed galvanised steel shell filled with a lightweight aerated cement core. This combination delivers strength, durability, fire resistance and acoustic insulation while remaining much lighter than masonry construction.
Yes. Speedpanel has been independently tested and certified to achieve Fire Resistance Levels (FRLs) of up to -/240/240, depending on the wall system used. It is commonly specified for fire walls, plant rooms, service risers, stairwells and intertenancy walls.

Both Speedpanel and Hebel provide fire and acoustic performance, but they are different systems. Speedpanel uses a steel shell with an aerated cement core, making it lightweight and quick to install using an interlocking panel system. Hebel is an autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) product that is typically installed as blocks or panels. The best solution depends on your project’s fire rating, acoustic requirements, structural design and construction program.
Compared with traditional brick construction, Speedpanel offers significantly faster installation, lower structural weight and excellent fire and acoustic performance. Many commercial builders choose Speedpanel to help reduce labour costs and construction time while still meeting strict building compliance requirements.
