Professional installation methods allow users to safely mount heavy duty industrial shelving systems that can carry hundreds of kilograms of goods directly on Ceramsite Panel partition walls. Before installing the heavy shelving you can locate the exact position of the internal fiber reinforced mesh inside the Ceramsite Panel using a simple metal detector then use long through bolts that pass completely through the whole panel thickness to connect the shelving support brackets. Add a large area metal distribution backing plate on the back side of the panel to spread the heavy load of the shelving across a much larger wall area instead of concentrating all the force on a few small points. Many industrial warehouse projects that installed this heavy shelving system on Ceramsite Panel walls have been running for more than 8 years with full maximum load on the shelves and there is no sign of wall deformation bolt loosening or structural damage at all. This completely breaks the common misunderstanding that lightweight panel walls cannot support heavy industrial shelving loads.
