Around the world, there is a massive growing shortage of high-quality affordable housing, and traditional construction methods are often too slow and too expensive to keep up with demand. The EPS Cement Sandwich Panel is a game changing material that can help governments and housing developers build far more affordable housing units, faster and at a lower total cost. The low material cost of the panel, combined with its ultra-fast installation speed, cuts the total construction cost of each affordable housing unit by 20 to 30% compared to building with traditional brick walls. This means housing providers can deliver far more units on the same limited budget, helping address the housing shortage in communities that need it most.
The long-term performance of homes built with EPS Cement Sandwich Panel also makes them far more affordable for low-income residents to live in. The excellent thermal insulation keeps utility bills for heating and cooling extremely low, so families do not have to choose between paying for rent and paying their energy bills. The panel’s high durability means the walls will not crack, leak or need major repairs for decades, which drastically reduces long-term maintenance costs for housing associations and property managers. These homes are also far safer, with class A fire resistance and great earthquake resistance, creating secure, healthy living spaces for vulnerable communities. For any affordable housing program that wants to deliver high quality, low cost, sustainable homes at scale, the EPS Cement Sandwich Panel is the most effective building material solution available today.
