Old residential building renovation projects always bring a long list of unique challenges that new construction does not have. The original old walls are often uneven, the structural load capacity is limited, and construction noise and dust will seriously disturb the daily life of existing residents who still live in the building. Many traditional wall renovation methods require heavy chiseling, long construction periods and large amounts of waste, which are almost impossible to implement smoothly in these occupied old communities. The EPS Cement Sandwich Panel has become the most popular solution for old building retrofits in recent years, completely changing the messy traditional renovation workflow.
The EPS Cement Sandwich Panel is extremely lightweight, so it will not add extra burden to the old building’s original structure, which is a critical advantage for old houses that were not designed to bear heavy new wall loads. Workers can carry each panel upstairs easily without using large lifting equipment, and the dry installation process produces almost no construction waste. When you need to re-route all the water and electricity lines for the old house, you can cut neat slots on the panel surface on the balcony or corridor outside the living area, instead of chiseling the original old wall and creating clouds of dust all over the rooms. The whole installation process produces very little noise, so it will not affect the rest of elderly residents or students who need to study at home. After installation, the panel surface is already very flat, so you only need to apply a thin layer of putty before painting, which cuts the total renovation time by more than half. Thousands of old residential renovation projects have proven that using this panel can turn a previously disruptive 30-day renovation into a smooth, low-interference 12-day project.
