EPS Sandwich Panel

What Are the Recommended Thicknesses of EPS Sandwich Panels for Different Building Applications?

EPS sandwich panels are a popular choice for modern construction, offering excellent insulation properties, durability, and cost-effectiveness. These panels, composed of an EPS core sandwiched between two steel sheets, provide a strong barrier against heat, sound, and moisture. The thickness of the EPS core plays a crucial role in determining the thermal insulation performance of these panels. At Nantong Gaoya Steel Structure Co., Ltd., we specialize in the manufacturing of high-quality EPS sandwich panels, offering various thickness options tailored to meet the specific needs of different building applications.
When selecting the right thickness of EPS sandwich panels for a project, several factors need to be considered, such as the building’s location, purpose, and environmental conditions. The thickness of the EPS core typically ranges from 50mm to 200mm, and each option provides distinct benefits.
For residential and commercial buildings, where energy efficiency and comfort are essential, EPS sandwich panels with a core thickness of 50mm to 75mm are often recommended. These panels provide sufficient thermal insulation for most climates, helping to reduce energy consumption and maintain a comfortable indoor temperature. The 75mm thickness, in particular, is a popular choice for areas with moderate climates, offering a balance between insulation and cost-effectiveness.
In regions with more extreme weather conditions, such as colder climates or areas with high temperature fluctuations, thicker EPS sandwich panels are necessary to ensure optimal thermal performance. For these applications, EPS sandwich panels with core thicknesses of 100mm to 150mm are ideal. The added thickness helps to better regulate indoor temperatures, keeping heating and cooling costs low and improving the overall energy efficiency of the building.
For industrial applications, such as warehouses, factories, or cold storage facilities, where temperature control is critical, EPS sandwich panels with a core thickness of 150mm to 200mm are commonly used. These panels provide enhanced thermal insulation, ensuring that the interior environment remains stable despite external temperature variations. Additionally, thicker panels offer improved sound insulation, which can be beneficial in noisy industrial settings.
Choosing the right thickness of EPS sandwich panels also depends on specific building requirements and local building codes. Nantong Gaoya Steel Structure Co., Ltd. offers panels with various core densities (8-20kg/m³) and materials, such as GI, GL, PPGL, or PPGI steel sheets, to provide customized solutions that meet the unique needs of each project.
The flexibility in EPS sandwich panel thickness allows for versatile applications across residential, commercial, and industrial sectors. Whether you're building a residential home, an office complex, or a large-scale industrial facility, selecting the appropriate EPS core thickness ensures optimal insulation performance, energy efficiency, and long-term durability.
