Unique engineered quadrupled

folded flange leading to
enhanced strength

Conventional flange design where

the panel at the edges are weak
as they do not have cement core
support along the edges

Reduced Corner Flange leads to

robust load carrying capacity

Unitile UFP 1000 is the latest
design patented advanced model
of steel cementitious panels
Unitile UFP 1000 decidedly
stronger at its edges due to its
minimum cantilevered flanges.
Also leads to Damage free edges
and lower onsite material damages
Unitile UFP has improved load
carrying capacity around the

around each pedestal head

10. Higher foot print area of the

panel on the steel pedestal
leading to structural stability &
strength
11. Broader internal beam width at
the sides

leading to almost 50mm square of

weak concentrated load area
around the pedestal head which is
not supported by any
cementitious core backing
Lower foot print area and weak
aluminium pedestals

pedestal head area due to reduced

corner flange

Slim internal beam width at the

sides

The wider beam of Unitile UFP

1000 enhances the strength than
conventional ASP type panels
Unitile UFP 1000 because of its
folded edges do not allow adjacent
panel to rub against while walking
leading to squeak free & noiseless

Unitile UFP 1000 does not have
sharp edges vis--vis the ASP
panels leading to Human safety
from sharp cuts. This sharp edges
are dangerous while installation,
maintenance & other routine
operations for Clients as well as
workmen.
