Reinforced Thermal Insulating Masonry ECOBEST
ECOBEST is an innovative construction system that combines durability, energy efficiency, and environmentally friendly materials.
ECOBEST PANEL
The Ecobest system consists of prefabricated industrially produced panels that completely replace bricks for all wall infill needs in residential, industrial, and commercial constructions. It is ideal for those seeking masonry with the highest possible thermal insulation and durability using a system with high bioclimatic and environmental benefits. The reinforced Ecobest masonry is produced at our group’s A. Epiphaniou factory facilities in Limassol.
The ECOBEST reinforced masonry consists of two main parts:
- The expanded polystyrene core, which is non-toxic, non-hazardous, self-extinguishing, and chemically inert.
- The two high-strength galvanized meshes, interconnected with vertical pins (joints) that are spot-welded to them.
Ecobest wall panels are available in thicknesses ranging from 3 cm to 30 cm and in heights of up to 8 m, custom-made according to the architectural requirements of each project.

LIGHTWEIGHT
Thanks to the lightweight Ecobest panels, the wall load is reduced by up to 60% compared to conventional masonry with
the result to reduced load on the building’s structural frame, significantly improving its structural performance in the event of an earthquake. In addition, due to their lightweight nature, no lifting equipment is required on site
SUPERIOR FIRE RESISTANCE
Ecobest masonry offers excellent fire resistance, with fire ratings exceeding those of conventional wall systems...
SUPERIOR FIRE RESISTANCE
ECOBEST masonry is fire-resistant, with fire performance twice that of conventional masonry. Tests conducted on ECOBEST panels have shown that the masonry achieves REI >180 minutes when used with fire-resistant mortars and is classified as A2, meaning it does not contribute to the spread or development of fire, according to EN 13501-1,2/2002.
REDUCTION OF CRACKING
Thanks to the presence of the structural mesh and the cladding of the frame with Ecobest panels, in combination with...
REDUCTION OF CRACKING
Thanks to the structural mesh and the cladding of the frame with Ecobest panels integrated with the masonry, the mechanical strength of the plaster is increased, eliminating the traditional cracks between the frame and the masonry.
ARCHITECTURALLY FLEXIBLE
Ecobest panels offer great architectural freedom and easily adapt to complex wall types, such as...

ECONOMICAL
Ecobest masonry is the most economical solution on the market today compared to any other masonry with similar thermal and acoustic insulation properties. The reduced construction time results in labor cost savings. Furthermore, because energy losses during building operation are almost negligible, heating and cooling costs are significantly reduced, along with the costs of mechanical installations.
