Specwall is a safe and efficient wall system for UK education projects

Specwall is a safe and efficient wall system for UK education projects, helping deliver faster and more compliant schools, colleges and universities

From new school builds to university refurbishments, education projects require wall systems that meet tight programmes, strict fire regulations, and low-disruption site conditions. Specwall offers a fast, dry-install alternative to traditional build methods, delivering pre-cut, fire-rated panels designed to simplify construction and reduce project risk.

Built for education settings

Whether working on classrooms, corridors, breakout spaces or student accommodation, Specwall provides a pre-finished wall system that reduces wet trades, cuts down on waste, and delivers consistent quality.

Key benefits for education projects

• Minimum 2-hour fire resistance: All standard panels achieve at least 120 minutes of fire rating, with up to 210 minutes available for higher-risk areas.
• Dry installation: Panels install without plasterboard, skim or drying time and reducing labour and accelerating programme delivery.
• Space-saving thicknesses: Available in 75mm and 100mm to help maximise usable floor space.
• Service-ready design: M&E routes can be pre-formed, reducing coordination issues and allowing trades to start earlier.
• Reduced disruption: Lower site noise, dust and transport requirements make it ideal for live or term-time sensitive projects.
• Reusable and recyclable: Specwall can be demounted and reused, supporting BREEAM and sustainability goals.

Include Specshaft for a complete education wall system

For smoke shafts, service risers and plantroom enclosures, Specshaft complements the main wall system. It offers 2–3 hour fire resistance, avoids the need for pattressing and installs cleanly in one visit. It’s ideal for DfE or local authority-funded schemes where ease of inspection, long-term maintenance and robustness are essential.
