One of the biggest advantages of choosing the EPS Cement Sandwich Panel for your factory expansion or renovation is that it requires almost no regular maintenance to stay in perfect working condition for decades. Following a few very simple, basic maintenance steps will ensure your panels continue to deliver great thermal performance, safety and appearance for 30 years or more, with no unexpected issues. The most important regular maintenance task is a simple visual inspection of all your panel walls, that you can do once every six months. Walk around both the exterior and interior of your factory, and check the surface of every EPS Cement Sandwich Panel wall. Look for any small signs of impact damage from forklifts, moving equipment or heavy goods. If you notice a small scratch or minor dent on the cement facing, you can easily repair it with a small amount of matching cement filler, to keep the surface smooth and intact. This prevents small minor damage from developing into larger issues over time. You should also check all the joints between the panels once a year. Over many years of normal building movement, temperature changes and small vibrations from heavy machinery, the joint sealant can sometimes develop tiny cracks. If you see any gaps forming in the sealant, simply clean out the old sealant, and apply new fresh industrial grade sealant designed for cement panels. This will keep the joints completely airtight, water-resistant, and maintain the full insulation and sound proofing performance of the entire wall. Cleaning the panels is also extremely simple. For interior factory walls, you can wipe them down with a normal damp cloth and mild industrial cleaning solution to remove dust, dirt and small spills. For exterior walls, you can give them a gentle pressure wash once a year to remove built up industrial dust, dirt and pollution from the surface. Never use harsh abrasive cleaning products that could scratch the smooth cement surface of the panels, and you will keep them looking almost brand new for decades. Every 5 to 7 years, you can apply a new fresh coat of high quality industrial paint to the panel surfaces, if you want to refresh the appearance of your factory. The smooth cement facing takes paint extremely well, and a new coat of paint will add an extra layer of protection against scuffs, spills and weather exposure. That is all the maintenance you will ever need. Unlike traditional walls that require annual patching, re-plastering, mold removal and frequent repairs, the EPS Cement Sandwich Panel will continue to perform perfectly year after year, with almost no time or money spent on upkeep. This low maintenance design is one of the biggest long-term benefits that makes these panels such a smart, reliable investment for any industrial factory.
