Abstract
The wall panels may comprise a two sheets in parallel which are spaced apart. Each sheet includes end formations for co-operating with a respective opposite end of the sheet on a similar panel, such that the panels can be connected together. The wall panel is primarily designed to be lightweight and may be made from MDF or chip board and incorporate rock wool (RTM) and polystyrene. The wall panel is particularly directed towards insulation and minimising the spread of fire.

Description
Background
How many earthquakes have happened over the past couple of years (Barn -Iran, Tsunami -Thailand, Japan, etc.) with disastrous effects? The reason why there was such a huge loss of lives and buildings collapsing were due to the very nature the buildings (commercial and residential) are built.
Furthermore, how many people especially the elderly are always cold in their houses during the winter, in addition to the fact that so much gas is used during these times. The fact that energy prices are constantly increasing in these difficult times is not benefiting anyone.
During the summer when the weather is hot, a feature of these walls will block the heat wave and ensure the residential or commercial buildings are kept at a cool temperature. There have been quite a few deaths due to the intolerable hot weather in Europe recently.
Moreover, when fires do start in a residential or commercial property it can spread quickly and could have a detrimental impact on the survival of those trapped until they are saved from the Fire Ambulance if at all possible.
The product UniqueWalls we intend to introduce to the world is more resistant to earthquakes as this product is light and hence minimises these natural disasters to a minimum.
Furthermore, this product is green and will make great strides in reducing the use of gas in the winter as it's a very good form of insulation and could have an indirect positive impact on the economy.
This product will also act as a barrier to heat from the outside ensuring rooms is always kept cool, hence, will mitigate deaths caused by hot weather. This will reduce utility bills as desk fans and air conditioners will no longer be required. Also, these walls can stop the spread of fire and could possibly save lives. This product also has many other benefits, all of which is described below.
What is the product (what it does) UniqueWalls is a new concept that applies MEW or Chip boards with Rockwool and Polystyrene (through the application of clicking lightweight sandwich wall panels) and wrapped with decorative papers on both sides for construction sites and office spaces.
Each sandwich panel is light (280cm X 40cm) and thus can be handled by only one individual. There can be different sizes tailor made to customer requirements, hence can be made in different dimensions and has no impact on health and the environment. Therefore, this innovation is a revolution in building industries and will improve current methodologies.
Currently in the market, the only sandwich panels which are light are galvanized and they are used for cold rooms, freezers, factories, etc, these panels are not as trendy as UniqueWalls.
The maim difference between these galvanised walls and UniqueWalls is that ours can be used in all types of buildings (residential and commercial).
How it works This product is assembled from MDF, Rockwool, Polystyrene and decorative papers.
The way in which the product works is that each individual UniqueWalls can be attached to each other through clicking the male and female together, this can be illustrated in the drawing attached. These will allow a building (commercial and residential) to be constructed quicker. The walls can be set up and assembled quickly (100m2 click walls can be assembled in a day by one person). Also, these walls can come in different colours.
Benefits (problem it solves) UniqueWalls will enable builders to change their mindsets forever. It is a fresh, innovative product that will improve current methods of constructing properties from the outset, as ii is light, this product will enable construction companies as well as other organisations to benefit from high cost savings towards the structure cost of the building. This will enable them to increase their profit margins and use these savings on other areas on the company, the problems this product solves is the following.
* The effect of earthquakes will be minimised * The use of gas during cold times will be reduced, saving the environment * During the summer the wails will block any hot weather entering the building * These walls are fire proof, hence will minimise the effects of a fire and can save lives The benefits * Constructioi cost savings due to lower costs in labour and time * These walls can last forever * Allows you to alter two bedrooms to a three bedroom or vice versa. You can change the plan of the apartment easily * These walls can be reused indefinitely These walls have been wrapped by decorative papers on both sides which can be chosen in advance, this is another saving in paint and wall paper as well as labour time.
Finally, due to rockwool used in this product the walls is sound and fire proof, and is high and one of the best forms of insulation Target Market This product is predominantly used within the construction industry targeting property developers and the general public, details of this is provided below: Property developers: UniqueWall panels can be used to build walls in any residential or commercial building.
The secondary target of this innovation will be the general public (homeowners, organisations) as it enables homeowners to change the interior of their house quite easily and cost effectively. As such this product (2akgs) can enter the market as a do it yourself solution as it can be handled by one person.
As mentioned above, would like to reiterate that there is no need to tear down the structure of their house, instead these wall panels can be assembled quite effortlessly and efficiently to create a clean finish. For example a huge bedroom can easily be transformed into two bedrooms simply by clicking the UniqueWall panels together Again this can easily be dismantled when required without any hassle. With respect to companies they can change open plan offices to separate rooms or even create meeting rooms or partitions.
Benefits to consumers Property Developers: labour time, cost, project completion General Public: DIV solution, time and cost, interior design interchangeable Claim
