The structure and composition of materials
And the foam blocks and aerated concrete are artificial construction material with a porous structure. The blocks, unlike concrete, have closed pores. This allows the material to sink in water, have excellent heat and sound insulation properties. As for the concrete, the material should not be used for construction of the Foundation and the building project made from this material must provide a high quality exterior finish. The fact is that concrete has small cracks and therefore has a lower sound insulation properties and can not maintain a constant room humidity.
Unlike wood, artificial material, not afraid of house fungus or mold. That is a good quality especially noted by the owners of country houses, baths and other buildings, often built from wood.
In the production process of aerated concrete using natural materials: water, cement, lime, sand, foam, aluminum powder, making concrete blocks, and concrete, are environmentally friendly building materials. In addition, the blocks are easy to handle, allowing considerably to save money and not buy extra material. Please note that the foam blocks and aerated concrete differs, so they can be cut and laid in any convenient side. The main conclusion is that to build houses of foam blocks and aerated concrete is not only easy and convenient but also economical.
If we talk about the production of materials, to produce a foam block is not difficult, gives it a competitive advantage in price and makes it more demanded in the market. However, due to the simple method of production of foam concrete is the main contender for forgery. Produced by artisanal method, the material loses all its essential properties and becomes less suitable for construction. But the autoclaved aerated concrete produced by a method that is more costly, and so the material is more expensive.
Building blocks are very economical, and the building itself does not require additional care.
It is worth noting that, despite the impressive size, and foam-concrete and gas-concrete blocks due to porous structure are light, so the construction work can be done independently, without additional helpers. Another benefit of building blocks is their variety and a great choice for interior and exterior construction work.
In respect of the perceived downsides of the materials, there is need to note the following: all of its faults the building blocks fully transferred to the entire structure. Therefore it is necessary to consider, first, that the material is fragile. Second, the foam is not breathable. Therefore, a country house of foam may not be suitable for residents with lung disease. Thirdly, in a strong fire the wood burn well. And fourth, the composition of the concrete is lime, which is corrosive to metal.
Construction of aerated concrete
The building, built of aerated concrete, is fire safety, excellent insulation, durability and economy. Experts say that aerocrete almost combines all the best qualities of wood and stone main building materials, which, unfortunately, are not as accessible as cellular concrete. It should also be noted that the materials perfectly keep the building comfortable atmosphere. Cellular concrete are perfectly combined with various roofing materials and any insulation.
To build any house made of blocks – it's not difficult, because the block material can be easily planed, drilled and milled. The construction may include various arches, pediments and other decorative elements. Cheap house built of foam blocks, could be a great option as a summer country cottage, and a house where you can live all year round. Good heat-insulating properties possessed by the foam block, make it an excellent material for building baths.
Bath of foam blocks is no different from the wooden structures. This work does not require anything special and can be completed even by a beginner. All you need is to find the right project baths or to download a free project from the Internet. If you want you can buy a sample project by contacting the appropriate project service. When the finished project will be you have on hand, all you need is to buy all the necessary building materials - concrete blocks or aerated concrete and other components and start building.
Construction units should choose quality. Best place to buy foam blocks from the manufacturer or, if this is not possible, using proven hardware store. Properties of cellular concrete make it very convenient and easy to accommodate in all communications. The main thing here is to properly plan the location of the communication and not to miss anything.
Experts recommend be reinforced every few rows of blocks with a special mesh to masonry was more durable.
Thanks to modern artificial materials to build a quality home quickly and inexpensively. The construction of the blocks is a good budget option, and therefore the material is often used for country building, as well as the construction of baths and saunas. Blocks of foam concrete and aerated blocks you can easily create the desired shape. The material does not require costly masonry mortar or adhesive, has good sound insulating properties, retains heat very well and its lightweight design does not weigh down the walls of the building. The project houses of foam blocks you can build in a short time. Environmentally friendly building materials aerated concrete and concrete blocks are the most popular materials of modern low-rise building.
