For decades, traditional clay brick wall has been the most common wall material in the construction industry, but in recent years, more and more project owners are starting to compare EPS Cement Sandwich Wall Panel with traditional brick wall, trying to find a better alternative that can adapt to the needs of modern construction. We can compare the two materials from multiple dimensions including construction speed, total cost, structural weight, thermal insulation performance and environmental protection, and the result will surprise a lot of people. The first most obvious difference is the construction speed. A skilled mason team can usually build around 15 to 20 square meters of traditional brick wall per day, but with the same number of workers, they can install more than 80 square meters of EPS Cement Sandwich Wall Panel in one single day.

This huge gap in construction speed directly leads to a big difference in total labor cost. The labor cost for traditional brick masonry usually accounts for more than 60% of the total wall construction cost, while for EPS Cement Sandwich Wall Panel installation, the labor cost is less than 30% of the total cost. Although the unit material price of the panel is slightly higher than the price of clay bricks, the total cost of the whole wall project is still 20% to 30% lower than that of the traditional brick wall solution, when you calculate the total cost including labor, construction waste disposal and subsequent decoration processing. Another big difference is the structural load. As we mentioned before, EPS Cement Sandwich Wall Panel is much lighter than the solid brick wall, which means the main structure of the building does not need to design extra heavy load bearing capacity, and you can save a lot of cost on the steel bar and concrete of the building foundation.

In terms of usage performance, the two materials also have very different performances. The thermal insulation coefficient of EPS Cement Sandwich Wall Panel is 3 to 4 times better than that of the traditional solid brick wall, which means the building using the panel will have much lower energy consumption for air conditioning and heating. What is more, using EPS Cement Sandwich Wall Panel does not need to use a large amount of clay to burn bricks, which can effectively protect the farmland resources, and the production and construction process of the panel produces almost no construction waste. The traditional brick wall will produce a lot of construction waste during the cutting and building process, which brings extra pressure to the environment. For modern construction projects that pursue high efficiency, low cost, energy saving and environmental protection, EPS Cement Sandwich Wall Panel is undoubtedly a more competitive choice than the traditional brick wall.
