Among the variety of materials, expanded clay concrete blocks occupy a worthy place. These blocks replaced slag concrete materials. Compared to them, expanded clay concrete blocks have the best indicators of strength, environmental friendliness and thermal conductivity. To make blocks yourself, order the manufacture of forms.
Expanded clay is a unique material that is obtained as a result of firing certain types of clay. It is a large granules of caked and foamed substance, has a low weight, as well as excellent thermal insulation properties. The blocks themselves are produced in a simple way of vibration pressing with the addition of water, cement and sand.
The field of use of building materials, as a rule, is limited to the construction of country houses. Each of the blocks is a strong and high -quality product. But not so much as to withstand the huge weight of the multi -meter wall. That is why the walls are not built from such blocks above 6 m.
While the blocks have several advantages that are inherent in them. They are very convenient for the construction of walls. With slight weight, the blocks have large sizes. One expanded clay concrete block replaces six bricks. Also, light weight and small dimensions contribute to saving funds for transportation and masonry.
The cost of building a building from such material is 30% lower than the construction of traditional materials. That is why this material is often used in construction.
Perhaps the only drawback is that blocks cannot be used for facing. This is due to the fact that they have an unattractive appearance, so it is necessary to use various finishing materials. It is worth noting that plaster and other solutions are perfectly fed on the surface of the wall from expanded clay blocks.
The indicators of this building material are unique, so its popularity is growing.
