When factory owners choose partition materials for their plant projects, many of them only compare the initial material cost per square meter, and easily ignore the huge hidden costs generated during installation and decades of long term operation. In fact, choosing EPS Cement Sandwich Panel as your factory partition material can bring very considerable long term cost savings, far exceeding the benefits you can get from using some cheaper traditional wall materials.
The first major cost saving comes from the installation phase. The lightweight EPS Cement Sandwich Panel adopts dry construction method, so the labor cost required for installation is much lower than that of traditional brick walls. The fast installation speed also shortens the entire construction cycle, which reduces the management cost of the construction team, and most importantly, greatly shortens the time before the factory can start formal production. For a 10000 square meter large factory partition project, the total labor and time cost saved during the installation process alone can offset the difference in initial material cost compared with traditional brick walls.
The second huge saving comes from the structural cost of the plant. Because the EPS Cement Sandwich Panel is extremely light, it greatly reduces the total static load of the building. For new factory construction projects, this means the design team can use less steel and concrete in the main structural design, directly reducing the construction cost of the main plant structure by a large margin. For old factory renovation projects, you do not need to invest extra money to carry out structural reinforcement for the floor before installing new partitions. This is a very large hidden cost that many factory owners did not expect in their initial renovation budget, which can easily reach hundreds of thousands of dollars for large plants.
During decades of daily operation after the factory is put into use, the EPS Cement Sandwich Panel also shows very low maintenance cost. It has excellent impact resistance, moisture proof, fireproof and anti aging performance, so it will not have common wall problems such as cracking, denting, mold growing or deformation easily. Many factories that used color steel partitions before found that they needed to repair or replace 10 to 20 percent of their partition walls every year due to equipment impact and corrosion. After switching to EPS Cement Sandwich Panel, the annual wall maintenance cost dropped by more than 80%. When you calculate the total cost over the entire 20 year service life of the factory partition, the EPS Cement Sandwich Panel turns out to be one of the most cost effective wall materials you can choose for industrial scenarios.
