How to use
- EPS panels are produced in factories and arrive at the jobsite preassembled ready for installation.
- Rebar is installed in the foundation then the opening of the expanded polystyrene panels are prepared.
- During the next step, EPS panels are installed following the design drawings.
- After pouring the concrete at the top of the slabs, the panels are covered with shotcrete.
