Expanded Polystyrene Panels
Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) core Panel system is a mmodern, efficient, safe and economic construction system for the construction of buildings. These panels can be used both as load bearing as well as non-load bearing elements.
EPS core panel is a 3D panel consisting of 3-dimensional welded wire space frame provided with the polystyrene insulation core. Panel is placed in position and shotcrete on both the sides.
The EPS panels consist of a 3D dimensional welded wire space frame utilizing a truss concept for stress transfer and stiffness.
EPS panel includes welded reinforcing meshes of high-strength wire, diagonal wire and self-extinguishing expanded polystyrene uncoated concrete, manufactured in the factory and shotcrete is applied to the panel assembled at the construction site, which gives the bearing capacity of the structure.
EPS panel after shotcrete, has the following five components:
i. The outer layer of shotcrete
ii. Welded reinforcing mesh of high wire
iii. The core of expanded polystyrene sheet
iv. Diagonal wire (stainless or galvanized wire)
v. The inner layer of shotcrete
The welded mesh fabric connected piercing polystyrene with truss of steel wire, welded to the welded fabric at an angle. It gives a rigidity spatial structure, and simultaneously prevents polystyrene core shifting.
Foreshore Development has used this to revolutionize the building industry. By providing a secure structure and at a suitable time, our customers have had nothing but praise for the outstanding work provided. The finishing touch will leave you happy with a quality well built structure.
Why Use EPS Building System?
- 3"x3x10 foam board covered with galvanized steel mesh on both sides.
- Multiple style panels for various types of installation.
- This style of building creates a monolithic system with the structural integrity of a rock.
- Offers strong resistance to dynamic forces such as strong winds and hurricane.
- Its deformability degree is 20 times higher than that of Cinder block construction.
- Thermal degree is 0.40 calories per hour per square meter compared to 1.70 for Cinder block walls. The foam is continuous throughout the structure so there are no breaches.
- Fireproofing is Rei 150 which means if one side of the wall is heated up to 1000 degree Celsius for three hours, the temperature on the other side is only 48 degrees Celsius.
- Sound proofing is 38 DB with a frequency of 500htz. Sound reduction is six times better than cinder block.
