For a number of years, the demand for such building material as foam concrete remains stably high. And all because he has a number of undoubted advantages.
All the advantages that foam concrete possesses are allowed to say with confidence that the material provided by the material. Foam concrete almost does not absorb moisture, so it is absolutely not subject to decay. In addition, the cellular structure of this building material has a very low heat transfer, and therefore, using foam blocks for the construction of walls, you can not at all worry about additional insulation of the house. At the same time, over time, foam concrete not only does not lose its unique thermal insulation properties, but also significantly improves them.
Foam blocks have a high degree of fire resistance and correspond to the 1st degree of fire resistance, which is important when using this building material for the construction of residential buildings and other structures.
One of the most important qualities of such material as foam concrete is its high degree of environmental friendliness. Foam blocks are completely non -toxic and in the process of heating does not have absolutely no harmful discharge. In their environmental indicators, wall blocks from foam concrete are inferior only to wood.
Unlike various kinds of foam and mineral wool, foam concrete improves its strength and strength. And this is far from chance. The fact is that the very technology for the production of such material as foam concrete is not only simple, but also from an economic point of view is very profitable. In a special barorammer under high pressure, the sand-cement mixture and the foaming agent is mixed. In this case, in the process of preparation, the material is given the necessary density by varying the amount of foam concrete used.
The wall blocks of foam concrete are particularly ease that, despite the rather large size, it allows you to very significantly increase the speed of masonry walls. By the way, many builders put foam blocks on glue. Such a technology can significantly reduce cold bridges inside the wall.
It is very easy to work with foam concrete in the sense that it can be given almost any shape without any problems and in it without stroke the walls the simplest knife can cut holes for pipes, wiring and other engineering communications.
Summarizing all of the above, one cannot but admit the fact that for a given period of time foam concrete is almost the perfect building material.
