Buildings located in coastal areas face some of the harshest environmental conditions on earth: constant salt spray from the ocean, high humidity, strong sea winds and intense UV radiation from direct sunlight. Almost all traditional wall materials degrade very quickly in these conditions, developing rust, mold, peeling paint and structural cracks after just a few years of exposure. The EPS Cement Sandwich Panel is uniquely resistant to all these coastal environmental stressors, delivering decades of low-maintenance performance even just a few meters from the ocean. The non-metallic calcium silicate surface will never rust or corrode when exposed to salt water spray, eliminating the most common failure point for coastal building walls.
The panel’s excellent waterproof and moisture resistant properties prevent salt moisture from seeping into the wall structure, so you will never see salt efflorescence stains appearing on interior wall surfaces, a very common problem in old coastal homes. Its UV stable surface finish will not fade or degrade even after decades of strong direct sunlight, so the exterior wall will maintain its clean appearance with almost no repainting required. Homeowners with coastal properties built with this panel report that they only need to perform very minor wall maintenance once every 10 to 15 years, compared to every 2 to 3 years for traditional brick or metal walls. For beach houses, coastal resorts, port facilities and any other building located near the ocean, the EPS Cement Sandwich Panel is the most durable, lowest maintenance wall material you can choose.
