1. The house is warm in winter and cool in summer
The EPS module has a two-layer thermal insulation structure inside and outside. Compared with traditional building materials, indoor thermal insulation can be increased by 3°C to 5°C, achieving the effect of warming in winter and cooling in summer.
2. Stronger seismic performance
EPS modules are mixed with reinforced concrete, which can replace traditional materials. Compared with ordinary brick-wood structure houses, the built houses have stronger seismic performance.
3. The service life is as long as one hundred years
The service life of red bricks is generally about 40 years, while the service life of concrete is 70 years. Under the protection of EPS modules, the service life of concrete is further extended, even up to a hundred years.
4. Lower overall cost
The EPS module is convenient, just like inserting building blocks, putting on steel bars, pouring concrete mortar, and forming it at one time.
The process of supporting and dismantling the formwork and the cost of renting formwork are eliminated in traditional buildings, and the material cost can be saved by about 30%, the construction time is also greatly shortened, and the labor cost can be saved by more than 70%.
The raw material of the EPS module is polystyrene particles, which is inherently flammable.
However, in order to achieve the purpose of fire prevention, flame retardants are added during the production process to achieve the purpose of flame retardancy. Now, the fire protection rating of EPS modules of Shanxi Future Villa can generally reach B1 level.
Class B1 is the name of a fire class, which means that this material is non-flammable, can burn but is not easy to burn, when the fire source leaves, it will automatically go out.
In addition, the outer layer of the module will be protected by a 15mm thick fire-proof and crack-proof mortar to isolate oxygen and control heat transfer. The carbonized layer generated during combustion can isolate the flame from contacting the material, thereby playing a flame retardant effect.
