EPS cement sandwich panels, being lightweight and high-strength building materials, require proper installation and fixing methods to ensure the stability and longevity of the building structure.
Here are the common installation and fixing methods for EPS cement sandwich panels:
1. Special Connector Fixing Method
Procedure:
Reserve installation positions on the framework of the building structure.
Use special connectors such as screws or expansion bolts to fix the EPS cement sandwich panels to the framework.
Ensure tight seams between panels and fill the seams with sealing materials as per design requirements.
Advantages: Simple installation, firm fixation, and effective resistance against external forces like wind pressure and earthquakes.
2. Adhesive Fixing Method
Procedure:
Apply adhesive evenly on the backside of EPS cement sandwich panels (e.g., polymer glue, silicone sealant).
Paste the panels onto the framework of the building structure, adjust and compress them according to pre-measured positions to ensure strong adhesion.
Use specialized tools and materials to treat the seams between panels, ensuring overall sealing and aesthetics.
Advantages: Suitable for panels of various sizes and shapes, providing a smoother and seamless appearance.
3. Steel Frame Suspension Fixing Method
Procedure:
Pre-install suspension fittings or hooks on the beams or steel frames of the building structure.
Hang the EPS cement sandwich panels to the predetermined positions via the suspension fittings or hooks, adjusting the horizontal and vertical levels.
Use bolts or other connectors to fix the panels to the suspension fittings, ensuring reliability and stability.
Advantages: Suitable for rapid installation of large-area walls, saving labor costs and time.
4. Seam Treatment
Procedure:
Fill the seams between panels with specialized sealing materials to ensure sealing and waterproofing at the joints.
Use tools like scrapers or brushes to evenly apply the sealing materials to the seams, filling them completely.
Advantages: Effective prevention of water vapor, dust, and small particles from entering the joints, ensuring insulation and waterproofing of the walls.
Each of these installation and fixing methods has its advantages, and the specific choice should be based on considerations such as the building structure, panel specifications, and design requirements. Proper installation and fixing methods can ensure the stability, longevity, and aesthetic appeal of EPS cement sandwich panels in building applications.
