Prefabricated construction is the preferred choice over traditional construction these days. EPS panel is used in prefabricated structure for walls, roofs, and foundations. EPS insulated panels offer an innovative option related to construction as well as maintenance as compared to traditional constructions. These insulated panel are strong, highly durable, easy to maintenance, easy to relocate and completely recyclable. The biggest benefit is the cost saving including cost of construction, material, worker and most importantly time saving.
EPS panel have the following advantages over traditional construction and they are as:
- Prefabricated EPS panel do not required skilled labour to erect the structure. Building can be erected with local support with minimum training and as a result it save the labour cost as well. But in traditional construction required proper labour and tools as well which are costly.
- Once insulated Panels are ready to transport then easily can install at construction site without any advance preparation. In tradition construction need proper preparation to manufacture the building.
- If dismantle the traditional structure then hardly a material is reusable otherwise all material are wastage. But in prefabricated structures, insulated panels can easily uninstall and all material can use somewhere else .
- EPS panel required little bit maintenance in prefabricated structures. EPS panels are very easy to clean and can occasionally wipe to remove the dust. so required minimum effort for maintenance in EPS Panel. But in traditional constructions required regular maintenance and improvement.
- Insulated panels are used for sound proof purpose like in generator room and heat reducing purpose in prefabricated construction. But in traditional construction you can’t get features. So EPS panels are save the energy up to 40-50 % yearly because of thermal insulation.
- Design flexibility is a attractive advantage in prefabricated construction and panels are available in different thickness. If need to expand the design then easily can do it but traditional construction does allow for it.
So finally we can say that the use EPS panel in prefabricated construction is better over traditional construction
