What are the Perks of the EPS Insulated Panel?

EPS is a lightweight material that is highly resistant to fire and has a high thermal and acoustic insulation capacity with relatively low cost. EPS panels are one of the most promising materials for construction usage and here you will get some reasons why it is so. 

Insulation Ability

The characteristic feature of EPS Insulated Panel is that through its closed-pore structure, it is able to retain air very efficiently. It gives it an R-value that is very high, thereby making EPS panels to resist heat transfer very well. EPS ceiling panels provide add-on insulation to the roof thereby, cutting down costs of electricity being used by HVAC to regulate temperatures inside the building.

EPS Insulated Panel

EPS ceiling panels also do not allow heat from the indoor environment to escape and formal temperatures to penetrate. This insulation power is economical and ensures that the interior of structures are well protected against unfavorable climatic conditions. 

Moisture & Mold Resistance

EPS does not allow water or moisture to enter or pass through its structure unlike what happens with some materials. Panels are still able to retain their structural support and insulation capabilities even if they are subjected to some degree of moisture. This moisture resistance also means EPS will not encourage mold growth as most other insulation materials might. To sum up, it is crucial to prevent mold to ensure the better condition of the buildings’ environment. 

Sound Dampening Properties

On the other hand, the EPS consists of trapped air that can absorb and reduce noise in addition to its insulation ability. Copper ceiling and wall panels of EPS can help mitigate external or internal noise sources from penetrating or interfering with the adjacent areas of a structure. This assists in developing less noise attenuation indoors for residences, workplaces, schools and so on. 

Affordability

As for the cost, EPS is relatively cheap for such a material, not to mention the cost of one cubic meter of the material per its thermal performance. This coupled with the energy saving, EPS panels provide thus makes it very economical to install them for insulation. For instance, if £5m has been set aside for construction, more than £5m available will imply that there will be funds for other construction requirements.
