When choosing partition materials for an office project, many decision makers only compare the initial material cost per square meter, and easily ignore the hidden costs generated during installation and long term usage. In fact, choosing EPS Cement Sandwich Panel as your office partition material can bring you very considerable long term cost savings, far exceeding the savings you can get from using some cheaper traditional wall materials.

The first cost saving comes from the installation phase. As we mentioned before, the EPS Cement Sandwich Panel is lightweight and adopts dry construction method, so the labor cost required for installation is much lower than that of traditional brick walls. The fast installation speed also shortens the entire construction cycle, which reduces the management cost of the construction team, the rental cost of temporary construction facilities, and the downtime loss of the office. For a medium sized office renovation project of 500 square meters, the total labor and time cost saved during the installation process alone can offset a large part of the material cost difference compared with traditional materials.

The second major saving comes from the structural cost of the building. Because the EPS Cement Sandwich Panel is extremely light, it greatly reduces the total static load of the building. For new office building projects, this means the design team can use less steel and concrete in the main structural design, directly reducing the construction cost of the main body. For old office building renovation projects, you do not need to invest extra money to carry out structural reinforcement for the floor before installing new partitions, which is a very large hidden cost that many project owners did not expect in their initial budget.

In the decades of daily usage after the office is completed, the EPS Cement Sandwich Panel also shows very low maintenance cost. It has excellent moisture proof, fireproof, impact resistant and anti aging performance, so it will not have common wall problems such as cracking, peeling, mold growing or deformation easily. You do not need to spend a lot of money every year to repair and maintain the partition walls. Even after 10 to 15 years of usage, the wall surface still remains flat and intact, and you only need to repaint it once to give it a brand new look. When you calculate the total cost over the entire 20 year service life of the office partition, the EPS Cement Sandwich Panel turns out to be one of the most cost effective wall materials you can choose for your office project.
