Experienced building contractors are always looking for new wall materials that are faster and easier to install, reduce labor costs and minimize on site mistakes, which is why Ceramsite Panel has become one of the most popular new Expanded Clay Cement Panel products in the construction market. The installation process for Ceramsite Panel is extremely straightforward, and most contractors can master the full workflow after just a few hours of hands on training. The first step in any Expanded Clay Cement Panel installation project is to carefully survey the site and mark out the exact partition positions on both the floor and ceiling, ensuring all alignment lines are perfectly straight and level before any panels are positioned.
Once the layout is fully marked, contractors start by installing specialized U shaped tracks that are securely fixed to both the floor slab and ceiling slab using high strength anchor bolts. These tracks hold the Ceramsite Panel units perfectly in position while the installation work progresses. The Expanded Clay Cement Panel units are then lifted into place one by one, slotted into the bottom and top tracks, and adjusted to ensure perfect vertical alignment. Contractors use a special high strength mortar adhesive to bond the panels together at their vertical joints, creating a seamless continuous wall structure that forms a single rigid monolithic unit once the adhesive has fully cured.
After all panels are positioned and the joints have cured, installers can easily make precise on site modifications to Ceramsite Panel using standard power tools to create cutouts for electrical boxes, plumbing pipes, door frames and window openings. Unlike extremely dense concrete that requires special diamond tipped cutting equipment, Expanded Clay Cement Panel can be cut cleanly with standard circular saws, reducing tool costs for contractors. The final step is a simple skim coat treatment over all panel joints, creating a perfectly smooth continuous wall surface that is ready for painting, tiling or any other interior finish immediately after a short curing period. Most contractors report that they can install three to four times more wall area per day using Ceramsite Panel compared to traditional blockwork, delivering massive labor cost savings.
