Converting old historic buildings into boutique hotels is a very popular trend, but it comes with huge construction challenges, as most old historic structures cannot support the heavy dead load of traditional thick masonry partition walls. EPS Cement Sandwich Panel is the perfect material for these conversion projects, because its extremely light weight adds almost no extra load to the old existing building structure, so you do not need to carry out expensive and potentially damaging structural reinforcement work on the historic fabric. The panels can be cut to any custom irregular size to fit the unique non standard wall shapes that are very common in old historic buildings, making it easy to create new guest room partitions that fit perfectly inside the existing structure. The fast, low dust installation process also means you can carry out the partition work without causing major damage to the original historic features of the building, like old wooden floors, decorative plasterwork, or historic stone walls. Many historic building hotel conversion projects have used these panels to add dozens of new guest rooms, without needing to modify the original structure of the protected historic building at all. This allows developers to preserve the historic character and charm of the old building, while still creating modern, comfortable, high performance hotel guest rooms that meet all modern building codes and safety standards.
