Overview

EPS panels bond two steel skins to an EPS foam core with adhesive. They are light, quick to install and insulate reasonably well, making them an economical choice for internal partitions and temporary works.

EPS is combustible; many FDI projects and insurers do not accept EPS cores for external walls or production areas. Check QCVN 06:2022/BXD and the investor’s requirements before choosing it.
