Cost Comparison Between EPS Cement Sandwich Wall Panel and Traditional Block Wall
When most builders first look at the upfront material price of EPS Cement Sandwich Wall Panel they might think it is more expensive than traditional concrete blocks but a full lifecycle cost analysis tells a completely different story. If you calculate the total direct construction cost for 1000 square meters of internal walls using traditional block masonry you need to add up the cost of blocks cement sand mortar two layers of plaster and all the related labor work which usually adds up to a very high total figure. When you switch to EPS Cement Sandwich Wall Panel you eliminate the entire plastering process completely because the panels come with a perfectly smooth factory finished surface that only needs a very thin skim coat of putty before painting. This single change removes more than 30 percent of the total wall construction cost right away and cuts down the required labor number by half. The much lighter weight of EPS Cement Sandwich Wall Panel also reduces the total dead load of the building which allows structural engineers to reduce the amount of steel and concrete used in foundations and main frames creating even more significant cost savings for the whole project. Over the 50 year service life of the building the lower heating and cooling energy bills generated by the excellent insulation of EPS Cement Sandwich Wall Panel will add up to total savings that are multiple times higher than the small initial material price difference.
