Installing the EPS Cement Sandwich Panel during cold winter months is completely safe and achievable as long as you follow a few simple climate specific best practices that most general construction teams can easily implement. The first important tip is to store all your EPS Cement Sandwich Panel units in a dry, temperature controlled covered area before installation, to prevent any moisture from freezing on the panel surface or seeping into small gaps before the joints are sealed. You should select a high quality cold weather compatible sealant that is specifically formulated to cure properly even when outdoor temperatures drop close to freezing, as standard sealants will fail to set correctly in low conditions and compromise the water tightness of your panel joints. When fastening the EPS Cement Sandwich Panel to the building frame, make sure the underlying frame structure is completely dry and free of ice or frost, to ensure the fasteners get a strong, secure hold that will not loosen when temperatures rise later. Avoid installing the panels during periods of heavy snowfall or driving sleet, and plan your work for the driest, mildest parts of each winter day. When you follow these simple winter installation rules, your EPS Cement Sandwich Panel wall system will deliver exactly the same long term performance and durability as panels installed in milder warmer seasons.
