Many builders still think traditional drywall is the cheapest wall option, but the truth is that EPS Cement Sandwich Wall Panel can save you far more money in the full project lifecycle. The initial material cost of an EPS Cement Sandwich Wall Panel may be slightly higher than regular drywall, but the total installed cost is actually lower once you count labor, time, and follow-up maintenance.
Installing an EPS Cement Sandwich Wall Panel takes 70% less labor time than drywall. You do not need to apply multiple layers of joint compound, wait for drying, or do heavy sanding work after putting up an EPS Cement Sandwich Wall Panel. One worker can install 20 square meters of EPS Cement Sandwich Wall Panel in a single day, while the same worker can only finish 8 square meters of drywall in the same time. This huge difference in labor efficiency directly cuts your construction cost by a large margin.
Long-term maintenance cost is another big gap between EPS Cement Sandwich Wall Panel and drywall. Drywall is easy to crack when the building structure shifts, and it absorbs water easily in humid environments, leading to mold and peeling. An EPS Cement Sandwich Wall Panel is water-resistant, crack-resistant, and does not need frequent repairs. Most EPS Cement Sandwich Wall Panel products come with a 20-year performance warranty, which means you will spend almost no extra money on wall maintenance for decades after installation.
