Petrol stations, highway service centers and 24-hour convenience stores have very strict fire safety, durability and low maintenance requirements, and the EPS Cement Sandwich Panel is perfectly suited for these high-traffic commercial locations. The panel’s class A non-combustible structure meets the strictest fire safety regulations for fuel retail facilities, creating a fully fire-resistant building envelope that drastically reduces fire risk around highly flammable fuel storage areas. Unlike metal wall panels that can get extremely hot under direct sunlight near fuel pumps, the EPS Cement Sandwich Panel’s thermal insulation keeps the exterior wall surface at a safe moderate temperature, eliminating a potential ignition risk.
The panel’s weather resistant surface can stand up to constant exposure to vehicle exhaust, oil spills, road dust and harsh weather conditions without degrading, and it can be easily cleaned with regular industrial cleaning products. Installation is extremely fast, so a full new convenience store building at a petrol station can be completed in a matter of days, minimizing the amount of time the fuel station has to be partially or fully closed during construction. This directly prevents revenue loss for station operators during the building process. The panel’s excellent thermal insulation also reduces the energy costs for heating and cooling the convenience store space, lowering long-term operational expenses for the business. For any new fuel retail or highway service facility project, this panel delivers the ideal combination of safety, speed and low operating costs.
