Basement renovation is always one of the most challenging construction jobs, because the underground space has high ground moisture, poor natural ventilation, and is very easy to get damp and moldy. Traditional brick basement walls often have water seepage problems, and ordinary lightweight wall panels will get damp and rot after a short period of use. The EPS Cement Sandwich Panel has become the ideal choice for basement renovation, solving these long-standing problems perfectly.
Before installing EPS Cement Sandwich Panel in the basement, you only need to do a simple waterproof coating on the original concrete basement floor. The panel itself has almost zero water absorption, so the ground moisture can never climb up into the panel through capillary action. You can cut slots on the panel surface to lay dehumidification system pipes, LED lighting lines and network cables for the basement home theater. The panel’s closed-cell EPS core will not absorb any moisture, so even if the basement humidity stays above 80% for a long time, the panel will not deform, grow mold or produce any peculiar smell. Unlike wood wall panels that rot easily in damp environment, this panel is completely termite proof, so you never need to worry about termite damage in the dark underground space. The panel also provides extra thermal insulation, making the basement much warmer in winter and cooler in summer, so the space will no longer feel cold and damp. Many homeowners who renovated their basements with this panel turned the previously useless dark space into a comfortable home gym, wine cellar or entertainment room that can be used all year round.
