Renovating a protected historical hotel building to meet modern fire safety, seismic and energy efficiency codes is one of the most difficult construction projects possible, as local heritage regulations almost never allow you to modify the original historic exterior walls. EPS Cement Sandwich Panel lets you add a full new layer of internal walls and insulation on the inside of the original historic facade, without making any permanent changes or drilling large holes in the protected historic structure. The ultra low weight of the panels adds almost no extra load to the old historic building structure, so you do not need to do invasive structural reinforcement work that could damage the heritage fabric. You can drastically improve the old hotel’s seismic safety, fire resistance and energy efficiency by 50% or more, while keeping the original historic exterior completely untouched and fully compliant with all local heritage protection rules. The panels can be installed with minimal noise and dust, so you can complete the renovation work in sections without fully closing the hotel, keeping partial operations running to maintain revenue during the upgrade. This is the only practical solution for bringing old protected historic hotel buildings up to modern commercial safety standards, without destroying their unique historical character that guests travel from around the world to experience.
