When building a new cold storage or refrigerated warehouse facility, selecting the right wall insulation material is absolutely critical to keep long term refrigeration energy costs under control, and the EPS Cement Sandwich Panel is one of the most reliable cost effective options available for this exact application. The closed cell EPS foam core inside each EPS Cement Sandwich Panel has extremely low thermal conductivity, which creates a near perfect continuous thermal barrier that minimizes the amount of external ambient heat that can leak into the cold interior space. This drastically reduces the total workload on the facility’s refrigeration system, leading to significantly lower monthly electricity bills for the entire operational life of the cold storage building. Unlike some other insulation materials that can absorb moisture and lose their insulating ability over time in high humidity low temperature environments, the EPS core of the panel will not absorb water, so its thermal performance remains completely stable even when operating at constant sub zero temperatures. The rigid cement facings on both sides of the EPS Cement Sandwich Panel also create a strong, durable inner wall surface that is easy to clean, sanitize, and resistant to minor impacts from moving forklifts and stored goods. Many new cold storage projects have already adopted this panel system to hit their strict temperature control targets while staying well within their construction budget.
