The global modular construction industry is experiencing explosive growth as developers recognize the massive time and cost savings that come with building structures in controlled factory environments before transporting them to site. Ceramsite Panel is the ideal Expanded Clay Cement Panel material for prefabricated modular building systems, perfectly matching the requirements of modern modular construction methods. The factory prefabricated nature of Ceramsite Panel means it can be integrated directly into modular building units during the off site manufacturing process, allowing complete finished wall sections to be assembled and installed in modular units without any on site wet work.
The consistent high quality of Expanded Clay Cement Panel that is achieved through industrial factory production ensures every panel meets exact dimensional tolerances, which is critically important for modular building systems that require perfectly aligned components to fit together correctly on site. The lightweight nature of Ceramsite Panel also reduces the total weight of each completed modular unit, making the units much easier to transport over public roads and easier to lift into position on construction sites using standard cranes. This eliminates the need for specialized heavy lifting equipment that would be required for heavier modular units built using traditional concrete wall materials.
Modular building manufacturers who switch to Ceramsite Panel report that they can complete full modular units 40 percent faster than before, because the Expanded Clay Cement Panel installs quickly and requires almost no additional finishing work. The excellent fire resistance and acoustic insulation properties of Ceramsite Panel also help modular building manufacturers meet strict building code requirements without adding extra layers of fire proofing or sound insulation materials. Many leading modular construction companies now use Ceramsite Panel as their standard wall material for everything from modular student accommodation and hotel rooms to temporary medical facilities and emergency housing units.
