Philippines · Lightweight wall-panel supply
vPanel is a reinforced lightweight concrete wall panel for factories, warehouses, condominiums, hotels and commercial buildings in the Philippines. One panel covers the area of many hollow blocks, so walls go up faster, weigh less and need only a skim coat to finish.
Manufactured by Vodapruf in Johor, Malaysia, and used on projects across Malaysia and Singapore. Send your wall schedule and our team will tell you whether panel is the right wall for your Philippine site, and what it costs per square metre delivered.
vPanel Standard Panel · up to 6 m longAn ALC panel is a steel-reinforced lightweight concrete wall panel, installed as a complete wall section rather than laid unit by unit. A 100 mm vPanel weighs about 48 kg per m², carries a 4-hour fire rating, and one crew can install roughly 25–30 m² a day.
Built for Philippine conditions
Most Philippine buildings are concrete frames with hollow-block infill. Panels change three things on that kind of project: the weight the frame carries, the labour the wall needs, and the heat the wall lets in.
Infill walls carry nothing but themselves, yet they add to the mass a frame is designed against during an earthquake.
Skilled masonry labour is often the bottleneck. Panel work moves hours from laying and plastering to placing and jointing.
Hollow-block walls absorb heat in the afternoon and release it indoors at night. vPanel slows that transfer.

Compare the whole wall
Compare wall systems per square metre of finished wall, not per piece. The table shows what changes on site when the wall system changes.
| Per m² of wall | CHB (hollow block) | AAC block | vPanel ALC panel |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pieces to lay | 12.5 blocks (400 × 200 face) | 8.33 blocks (600 × 200 face) | About 0.55 panel (610 × 3,000 mm) |
| Joints to treat | Most | Many | Fewest |
| Wet trades | Mortar plus plaster both faces | Thin-bed adhesive plus skim coat | Jointing mortar plus skim coat |
| Wall weight | Heaviest | Lighter | About 48 kg/m² at 100 mm |
| Best fit | Budget houses, small or irregular walls | Mid-range homes, detailed layouts | Long, repeated walls on programme-driven projects |

Where vPanel is specified
Tall, long and repetitive envelope and partition walls, exactly where panel economics work.
Unit party walls and corridor walls that repeat floor after floor.
Rated walls where schedule and site cleanliness both matter.
Installation
vPanel can be installed horizontally or vertically. Horizontal installation lowers the risk of hairline cracks and water seepage at joints and uses leftover lengths at the soffit. Vertical installation needs less cutting on site.

Frequently asked questions
An ALC panel is a reinforced lightweight concrete wall panel made in the factory and installed as a large wall section instead of being laid block by block. It is used mainly for non-load-bearing internal and external walls inside a concrete or steel frame.
They belong to the same lightweight-concrete family and are often searched as the same thing. Conventional AAC panels are cured in a high-pressure autoclave. Vodapruf vPanel is made with LIGHTHERM aggregate and is naturally cured for 7 days, giving an enclosed-cell structure with low water absorption. Compare the declared test data for any panel you are considering.
Panels are quoted per square metre of wall, by thickness, delivered to site. The figure depends on wall area, thickness, panel length, installation method, accessories and delivery location. Send your wall schedule and we will return a per-m² quotation that states exactly what is included.
The 100 mm vPanel has a 4-hour fire rating tested to BS 476 Part 22, and a non-combustibility test to BS 476 Part 4. Test reports are available on request for your consultant.
Yes. vPanel is suitable for external walls and wet areas, provided the panel joints, frame junctions, openings and external finish are detailed correctly for wind-driven rain.
Yes. There are four fixing methods depending on the weight per hanging point. Tell us what will be mounted on the wall and we will recommend the fixing method.
We review Philippine projects case by case. After seeing the wall schedule and site location, we confirm whether vPanel suits the project, the delivered price per m², the shipping route and the lead time before you commit.
