Converting an old heritage building into a modern office space is one of the most popular workspace trends right now, but it also comes with very strict construction limitations that make traditional partition materials almost impossible to use. EPS Cement Sandwich Panel is the ideal partition solution for these kinds of heritage building office conversion projects, as its ultra-lightweight structure adds almost no extra load to the old building’s original floor slabs, which usually have very low load-bearing limits set by local heritage protection regulations. Unlike heavy brick walls that can damage the old building’s original structure, these panels are light enough to install without requiring any complex structural reinforcement work, which helps you avoid violating heritage building protection rules. The panels can also be easily cut and shaped on site to fit the irregular wall lines, sloped ceilings, and unique architectural features that are very common in old heritage buildings, so you can preserve all the original historic character of the space while still adding all the modern office partitions you need. You can also finish the panel surfaces with decorative plaster or old-style paint that matches the original heritage building’s aesthetic, so the new partitions blend in seamlessly with the historic environment and do not look out of place. Many heritage office conversion project managers have reported that using EPS Cement Sandwich Panel helped them pass their local heritage protection inspection without any issues, while also cutting the total renovation timeline by more than 50 percent.
