As EPS Cement Sandwich Wall Panel becomes more and more popular in the construction market, a lot of misleading information and wrong misconceptions about this material are also spreading among contractors and project owners. These wrong ideas may make people miss a very good building material solution, or use the panel in an incorrect way that leads to unnecessary problems. Today we are going to bust the most common misconceptions, and help everyone get the accurate facts about this excellent composite wall material. The first and most widespread misconception is that EPS Cement Sandwich Wall Panel is not strong enough to hang heavy objects on the wall.

This idea comes from the wrong impression that all lightweight wall panels are weak and easy to break, but the fact is that the high strength fiber reinforced calcium silicate outer layer and the integrated cement core give the panel very good load bearing performance. As long as you use the special heavy duty expansion bolts designed for this type of lightweight panel, a single point on the wall can easily hang objects that weigh more than 50kg, which is more than enough for common household items such as wall cabinets, water heaters and air conditioning indoor units. The second common misconception is that EPS Cement Sandwich Wall Panel does not have good sound insulation effect. Many people think that lightweight material cannot block sound well, but the actual test data shows that a 100mm thick standard panel can achieve a sound insulation performance of more than 40dB, which can completely meet the sound insulation requirements for residential partition walls, office walls and hotel room walls.

The third very common misconception is that EPS Cement Sandwich Wall Panel is not suitable for wet environments such as bathrooms and swimming pool surrounding areas. In fact, the outer calcium silicate layer of the panel itself has very low water absorption rate, and after a simple waterproof treatment on the wall surface, the panel can work stably in high humidity environments for a long time without deformation or mildew. The fourth misconception is that the panel is very easy to burn because it contains EPS foam core. But the truth is that the EPS beads in the core are fully wrapped and bonded by cement mortar, so the panel can reach A-class non-combustible fire protection standard, and will not release a large amount of toxic smoke when a fire breaks out. After understanding these facts and clearing up these wrong misconceptions, you can make a more rational and correct decision when choosing wall materials for your next project.
