Materials and Workmanship.
Comment
Concrete mass walls formed in a moist curing environment have a service life in excess of 60 years, EPS is a stable chemical and does not degrade when enclosed within the structure of a building. Under normal circumstances EPS does not degrade or transmit water and can not sustain flora, fauna or biota. If the exterior finish of the building is maintained degradation of the EPS should not be experienced.
