EPANEL Autoclaved Aerated Concrete Panels: Applications, Dimensions, and Pricing

Alongside the strong development of EBLOCK AAC bricks, EPANEL Autoclaved Aerated Concrete panels (also known as ALC EPANEL) are widely used in construction. AAC EPANEL panels are applied in wall construction, flooring, and roofing as a replacement for traditional methods. With numerous outstanding advantages, this lightweight concrete panel is a modern and eco-friendly building solution.

1. What is an Autoclaved Aerated Concrete Panel?

AAC panels are modern construction materials known for their lightweight, durability, and excellent thermal insulation. For a detailed understanding of AAC, refer to our comprehensive article. These ultra-light panels also feature:

  • Ultra-lightweight: Reduces structural load, saving on frames and foundations
  • Excellent sound and thermal insulation: Thanks to the micro-air bubble structure, creating a “Warm in Winter, Cool in Summer” effect
  • Fire resistance up to 4 hours: Ensures project safety
  • Fast installation: Saves time and labor costs
  • High durability: Suitable for high-standard projects

2. Applications of AAC Panels

EPANEL panels are used in various constructions, from offices, condominiums, and hotels to factories and industrial buildings. Below are practical uses of these ultra-light concrete panels:

2.1 External Walls and Partition Walls

ALC lightweight panels are used for partitions and exterior walls in uniform, large surface areas. Installation can be done horizontally or vertically.

2.2 Flooring

ALC panels are designed with one or two layers of steel mesh (≥4mm diameter) to replace reinforced concrete floors, ensuring load-bearing capability and reducing construction time.

2.3 Roofing

Roofs absorb the most solar heat. With excellent thermal insulation, EPANEL panels reduce indoor temperatures, saving up to 40% in air conditioning costs.

2.4 Fence Construction

Large-format EPANEL panels are used to build fences for transformer stations and industrial zones, ensuring quick installation, security, and structural strength.

2.5 Fireproof Column Cladding

EPANEL panels are used to clad steel columns and beams for enhanced fire resistance in warehouses and factories. With up to 4 hours of fire resistance (EI 240), they comply with QCVN 06:2022/BXD standards.

3. Notable Projects Using EPANEL

EPANEL is the optimal solution in construction, offering acoustic and thermal insulation, as well as fire resistance. Widely used in residential, high-rise, and industrial projects, it promotes quality living and sustainable, eco-friendly building.

International Projects

  • Changi General Hospital (Singapore): Exterior and interior wall partitions
  • The Tembusu Condo Building (Singapore): Superior acoustic performance with EPANEL walling

Domestic Projects

  • Akari City (Ho Chi Minh City): Fire-resistant partition walls in high-end residential towers
  • Xenia 1 Industrial Zone: Partition and exterior wall applications in rental factories

4. EPANEL Panel Dimensions and Specifications

EPANEL panels are manufactured in standard sizes (1200x600x100mm). Custom sizes can be produced upon request.

Standard Dimensions:

  • Length (mm): 1,200–4,800 (±5)
  • Width (mm): 600 (±4) – not including tongue-and-groove joints
  • Thickness (mm): 75–200 (±2)
  • Steel Mesh Layers: 1–2, with ≥4mm diameter (per TCVN 12867:2020)

EPANEL is available in two types: grooved and non-grooved. The grooved joint system enhances secure, durable panel connection.

  • Flat Type: One steel layer, smooth edge
  • T-Groove Type: Two steel layers with interlocking edges
