Many companies choose to rent office space in old commercial buildings located in prime city center areas, but these old buildings often have a big problem: their original floor structure was not designed to carry heavy modern partition walls. This means using traditional brick walls for renovation is not allowed, as it will add too much extra load and create hidden structural safety risks. EPS Cement Sandwich Panel is the perfect solution for this situation, because its extremely light weight will not put too much extra pressure on the old building’s floor.
A 100mm thick EPS Cement Sandwich Panel only weighs around 60kg per square meter, which is less than one fifth of the weight of a traditional brick wall of the same thickness. This very low wall weight is well within the load-bearing limit of almost all old commercial building floors built decades ago. This means you can add all kinds of new partition walls, meeting rooms, and separated zones in the old office, without needing to do expensive and complicated structural reinforcement work.
EPS Cement Sandwich Panel also produces very little dust and noise during installation, which is a huge advantage when you are renovating in an old commercial building that still has many other operating companies on the same floor. The renovation work will not cause major complaints from neighboring offices, and you can finish the whole project without breaking any of the old building’s renovation rules. For any office renovation project located in an old city center commercial building, EPS Cement Sandwich Panel is the safest, most practical wall material choice available.
