EPS 3D 150mm slab panel

EPS 3D Panels: EPS 3D 150mm slab panel

The EPS 3D 150mm Slab Panel is a lightweight, high-performance floor system that eliminates the need for separate BRC mesh reinforcement, significantly reducing on-site labour and construction time. Built on an electro-welded 3D steel wire framework encasing expanded polystyrene, the panel arrives ready for shotcrete application, enabling rapid floor assembly with approximately 60% lower CO2 emissions compared to conventional reinforced concrete slab construction. Its integrated structural mesh, certified to BS 8110, delivers reliable load transfer across residential and commercial floor spans while keeping material use to a minimum.
