AS the need for owning a house or building, people are not leaving out any option. People have started using sandwich panel to construct office buildings and factories and the style is gaining popularity.
The EPS sandwich panel materials make the building water and moisture-proof and at the same time minimise the amount of sound from outside, thereby making the premises comfortable for office work.
K. H. Min, the Hwan Sung Industries director, the manufacturers of the panels, says the panels that are galvanised with a colour-coated surface, make the building easy to clean and also beautiful to look at.
“The panels come in several colours and types, but some of the colours on the market include white, beige, brown, gold-grey, orange, cobalt-blue, yellow-ochre, dark-blue, olive-green and light-green,†Min says.
The pre-fabricated sandwich panels greatly minimise the construction period and cost, while renovations are also money-saving.
“The products come with a guarantee for renovation or reconstruction,†Min adds.
The panels are mainly used for construction of factories, warehouses (cold storages), schools, dormitory and military camps. They have also been used for partitions in offices and and hospitals.
