As urban populations continue to grow, cities around the world need to build more high-density multi-story apartment buildings, and the EPS Cement Sandwich Panel is making this process faster, cheaper and more energy efficient than ever before. The ultra-light weight of the panel drastically reduces the total vertical load on the building’s foundation and concrete structure, which means engineers can design slimmer, less heavy structural frames for mid-rise apartment buildings, cutting total construction material costs for the whole building by 15% or more. This directly brings down the total cost of each apartment unit, making new urban housing more affordable for residents.
For apartment residents, the benefits of the EPS Cement Sandwich Panel are immediately noticeable. The high sound insulation between units completely eliminates the common problem of noise from neighboring apartments traveling through shared walls, creating a far more private and peaceful living environment. The excellent thermal insulation keeps every apartment’s indoor temperature stable all year round, cutting individual household heating and cooling bills by 40%. The panel’s non-combustible A-grade fire resistance also creates fully fire-separated individual apartment units, drastically improving overall building fire safety for all residents. Construction teams can install hundreds of square meters of these panels every single day, cutting total wall construction time for a 10-story apartment building by more than half, so new residential projects can be completed and handed over to residents far ahead of schedule.
