Many people have the misunderstanding that lightweight wall materials can not be used in high humidity areas such as bathrooms kitchens and laundry rooms. But in fact, qualified Ceramsite Panel Expanded Clay Cement Panel has very excellent waterproof and moisture proof performance, which can be safely used in these wet areas for a long time. According to the professional water absorption rate test, the 24 hours water absorption rate of the standard Ceramsite Panel is less than 8 percent. This data is far lower than the national standard requirement of less than 15 percent for lightweight partition wall materials. Even if the panel is completely soaked in water for 30 days, the strength of the panel will not decrease at all, and there will be no deformation or softening phenomenon. The dense cement cementitious structure wraps all the expanded clay particles inside the panel. The external water can not easily penetrate into the deep part of the panel. In the actual long term use case, many families have used Ceramsite Panel to build bathroom partition walls for more than 10 years. The wall is still very solid, there is no mold, no peeling and no damp deformation problem. If you do a simple waterproof coating treatment on the surface of the Ceramsite Panel, it can completely replace the traditional red brick wall as the bathroom wall. This can reduce the weight of the bathroom wall by more than 70 percent, which is very important for the old residential buildings that need to renovate the bathroom. The Expanded Clay Cement Panel also has very excellent anti condensation performance. Even in the southern China plum rain season when the air humidity is close to 100 percent, the surface of the panel will not produce a large amount of condensed water like the concrete wall. This can effectively avoid the problem of wall mildew caused by long term high humidity. Many bathroom renovation contractors have begun to use Ceramsite Panel to replace traditional brick walls. They reported that the construction speed is much faster, the wall will not have the hollowing problem that often occurs in traditional brick walls, and the long term usage effect is very satisfactory.
