FAQ & Installation Notes
Q1: Can EPS brick panels be installed directly on exterior walls?
Yes, under the following conditions: the substrate is flat (≤5mm over 2m), sound, and free of loose material. For exterior applications above 10 meters, additional mechanical fasteners or mortar adhesive is recommended to resist wind pressure. Exterior-grade UV-stabilized laminate is required (standard panels are suitable for sheltered exteriors or interior use).
Q2: What does Class B1 fire rating mean in practical use?
The panel surface chars when exposed to open flame and self-extinguishes within 3 seconds after flame removal. No molten drips occur that could ignite materials below. Do not expose to open flame or high temperatures (>150°C) for extended periods.
Q3: Cutting and drilling methods?
Score 3–5mm deep with a utility knife along a straight edge, then snap. For curved cuts or openings, use a jigsaw with fine teeth (pitch ≤2mm). For circular holes, use a hole saw (speed ≤800 rpm). Cut edges require no sealing for interior applications; For exteriors, apply sealant to cut edges to prevent capillary water absorption.
Q4: Cleaning and maintenance?
Remove dust with a soft brush or vacuum with a brush attachment. For localized stains, wipe with a soft damp cloth and diluted neutral detergent (1:50), then rinse with clean water. Do not direct high-pressure water jets at joints. Avoid cleaners containing acetone or toluene.
Q5: Installation precautions?
Substrate must be dry (moisture content ≤8%), flat, and dust-free
Install starting from a corner, with clip side facing the starting direction
Apply adhesive dots (6–8 points per m²) or use专用clips
Orient cut edges toward corners less visible from main viewing angles
Maintain 0.5–1Mm natural gap between panels (clips auto-align)
At ambient temperatures below 5°C, adhesive curing time extends to 48 hours
Q6: Storage and handling guidelines?
Store flat in stacks, with padding between each layer; Stack height ≤1.2M
Avoid placing heavy objects on top or leaning panels which may cause warping
Keep indoors in dry conditions, away from direct sunlight and rain
Carry panels with both hands supporting the long edges; Avoid lifting by a single corner to prevent edge damage
