Buildings located near busy urban highways, elevated railways and major traffic corridors constantly suffer from extreme traffic noise that makes indoor spaces uncomfortable for residents and employees. The EPS Cement Sandwich Panel with its industry leading sound insulation performance is an extremely effective solution to this problem, blocking up to 50 decibels of external traffic noise before it can enter indoor spaces. When used for the exterior walls of new residential buildings, office spaces or schools built near busy transportation routes, this panel can reduce internal traffic noise levels down to below 40 decibels, which meets the World Health Organization’s recommended comfortable indoor noise standard for living and working spaces.
Compared to building traditional thick soundproof walls that take up huge amounts of valuable indoor floor space, the EPS Cement Sandwich Panel can deliver the same level of noise reduction with a wall that is only 120mm thick, saving several square meters of usable space for every floor of the building. The panel’s lightweight design also means it can be easily retrofitted onto existing old buildings near noisy highways, without adding extra dangerous load to the original structure. This gives property owners a simple, affordable way to drastically improve indoor comfort for residents without major, expensive structural renovations. As more and more cities develop new residential areas near major transportation infrastructure, the EPS Cement Sandwich Panel is becoming the standard material to create quiet, livable spaces even in high noise urban environments.
