Buildings for the future
Fascinating features of steel reinforced concrete clad insulated panels
Humans have come a long way in building shelters; from building mud and stone huts for living, we have slowly but steadily graduated to using completely synthetic building material to suit our requirements. In this article, we will explore one such modern age building material called ‘wall panels’ as they are used to create walls that make the building. The one that we will be discussing here is often referred to as the ‘sandwiched panels’ (SP) as they are actually built like a sandwich. These panels have gained significant popularity in the construction industry due to their exceptional performance, energy efficiency, and versatility. Even the ‘sandwiched panels’ come in a variety of compositions, but a very successful one that has stood the test of time is the one that is called as the ‘EPS panels’ for short. These panels combine the strength of structural steel and concrete with insulation of EPS panel inside, creating a multifunctional building material that offers numerous advantages.
Reduced Material Waste: As these readymade walls are prefabricated with precision, resulting in minimal waste, both during manufacturing and on-site assembly. The eco-friendly characteristic aligns with sustainable construction practices and reduces the environmental impact of building projects.
