Modern requirements for heat and sound insulation, which are presented to the buildings, dictate the use of materials and technologies in the construction of materials, which would meet the established standards. Therefore, when erecting residential and industrial buildings, today new material began to use more often – foam concrete. Due to their characteristics, which are distinguished by good thermal insulation, ease of processing and high strength, foam concrete is widely used in the construction of both monolithic buildings and in the form of prefabricated structures.
The use of building blocks from foam concrete reduces the timing of the construction of any building at times. With the help of them, you can embody any constructive solutions, since this material is very easy to process. Walls from blocks rise very quickly. In this case, a perfectly flat surface is created, which simplifies the decoration of both the facade and walls indoors. When using frame construction, foam concrete is poured between internal and outer walls, while a strong seismic -resistant structure is created, which does not provide significant pressure on the foundation. This is a very durable material that practically does not absorb moisture and has a high compression strength. All this allows you to create strong and durable supporting structures.
Wall decoration can be done with traditional materials, such as natural stone, slabs made of natural materials, Vitebsk brick or facade. In this case, the finish can be carried out in stages, without waiting for the end of the construction. Microclimate in the premises of buildings built from foam concrete corresponds to a microclimate in wooden houses. This material is environmentally friendly, does not distinguish any harmful substances, does not crack and does not destroy even when exposed to open fire. A 150 mm thick wall lined with foam concrete can protect the room from a fire within four hours.
Foam concrete can be transported by almost any type of transport, and a mobile installation for its production can be delivered to the construction site in a standard autofurg. The construction of houses from foam concrete significantly reduces the cost of construction work. And this applies not only to the construction of the walls, but also their finish decoration. The cost of construction is reduced not only due to the cheapness of the material itself and its production, but also due to the fact that the transportation of foam concrete at the construction site does not require the use of heavy equipment. It was these characteristics that influenced the fact that every year foam concrete is widely used in various sectors of construction.
