EPS Cement Sandwich Panel for Old House Load Bearing Wall Removal
When renovating older homes, many homeowners want to remove old heavy masonry load bearing walls to create more open, modern living spaces, but this usually requires complicated, expensive structural reinforcement work that adds huge extra weight to the home’s aging foundation. The EPS Cement Sandwich Panel is the perfect solution for this common old house renovation problem, as it is extremely lightweight but still delivers enough structural rigidity to act as a reliable replacement wall section after the original masonry wall is removed. A full wall section made from EPS Cement Sandwich Panel weighs less than one tenth of an equivalent solid brick wall, which means it adds almost no extra dead load to the old home’s existing foundation, eliminating the need for costly foundation reinforcement work that would normally be required. The panels can be installed very quickly after the old wall is demolished, drastically cutting the total renovation timeline and reducing the amount of time the homeowners have to spend displaced from their home. Many old house renovation contractors now keep EPS Cement Sandwich Panel in their regular material inventory specifically for this kind of open plan wall modification project, as it solves one of the most common pain points of old home renovation work.
